Answer:

A. TRUE

Explanation:

Gender Discrimination is a socially unequal treatment prevalent in all the spheres of life.

Associating masculine & feminine words with professions is a form of gender discrimination in the area of work .

Eg : MASCULINE - Businessman , Policeman , Chairman and FEMININE - Midwife , Nurse , Waitress etc

Stepping towards gender neutral professional terms like : 'Chairperson, Business person' etc - is a progress towards gender equality as the term includes all the professionals of that niche irrespective of their gender.
