I feel like agree with (B) much more because in the question it states that the quote has to show the "cultural complexity" of the genre meaning that its not as static as it was before as mentioned in question A. , but how it evolved over-time thus becoming more complex : branching out into different ideas of race and class .
I think it would be A, to appeal to modern day audiences.
Back then women were not as respected and physically capable as men. However women now can do most if not all jobs than men can do. So a hero who doesn’t treat women like they are still incapable may be more appealing than a hero who treats women like children in modern day. (Back then it would have been acceptable or liked)
