Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is (A) it is the pattern where an individual step off the career track or plateaus to accommodate the demands of raising children.  

Explanation:

Sequencing occurs, more often than not, to women who choose to bear children and take care of them at home. It refers to the idea that individuals who choose to raise children, must choose to forgo their professional pursuits by changing their focus to managing the family life, for a period of time that they have decided on. Thus, after those time period, the individual can then shift their focus again to their professional pursuits.
