Answer 1

It seems you're indicating that each option should be crossed out, but if you're looking for the best answer to complete the sentence about the unique support and freedom provided to women by convents, the most fitting choice is:

B) were intellectuals.

Convents often provided an environment where women could pursue education, philosophy, and the arts, which was not typically available to women outside of that context during that time.
