Yes, you are correct. "Investors and their wives" can be considered sexist because it assumes that all investors are male and that their spouses are female. However, this assumption is not accurate, as investors may be of any gender and marital status. This language excludes and marginalizes individuals who do not fit the prescribed gender roles. Therefore, option A, that investors may be female, is the most accurate explanation for why this statement is considered sexist.
