The Correct Answer for the given question is Option a. Carol Gilligan 

Gilligan’s research demonstrated that boys and girls do hold different opinions about morality. By focusing on rules and laws, boys tend to have a justice perspective. Girls, on the other hand, view people’s morally wrong behavior from a perspective of care and responsibility. The justice perspective was also regarded as the correct, or superior, perspective by Gilligan, since the theory was premised on the justice perspective.

In contrast, Gilligan believed neither perspective was “better”: the two norms of justice served different purposes. According to her, boys are socialized in an environment of rules to make operations run smoothly, while girls are socialized in an environment of harmony in caretaking and nurturing.
