Answer 1

Answer:

A. a law setting a specific wage for female workers.

Explanation:

Such a law would be discriminatory. It would run against the principle of equality of all citizens regardless of their gender. Though in practice reward policies still favor men in the labor markets around the world, there´s a trend to denounce and fight this practice as a form of discrimination of women unacceptable in the 21st century.
