D. Women are as likely as men to hold senior management positions
Explanation:
There has been a lot of talk and improvements when it comes to the equality between the men and women, be it in the rights they have, or with the wages they earn. The developed countries have sorted those problems out, as all men and women are equal in front of the law, they have the same rights, the discrimination is punishable and forbidden, and the wages have equalized when it comes to the same amount of working hours for the same job. The women though are still not as likely to hold senior managerial positions despite of this. The main reasons behind this is that the women tend to prefer the family, especially when it comes to having and raising children, which of course is a big obstacle for the career, and the other reason is that the women tend to be less ambitions on average than the men, thus they are more often satisfied with what they got, and do not want to put additional pressure in their lives.
