Answer 1

The best option that explains a reason why education and employment rates for women are lower in less developed compared to more developed countries is:

Option E: Females take primary responsibility for harvesting and cooking food in less developed countries.

This option highlights the increased domestic and agricultural responsibilities that women face in less developed countries, which can limit their opportunities for education and employment outside the home.
