An element in an effective argument is logical support because if you are trying to make you're argument effective, you need logical support to help your argument. Hope this helps!
The theme of the piece would be women are suffering and there does not seem to be any relief in sight. The only plausible answer is option A or option B, but the words 'they are more patient' in option A is a little bit of unsupported generalization rather than a theme, so i'd pick B.
hope this helps
