You should not get up and you should not make dinner. You need to stay in bed because you’re sick. You need to give your body a chance to get well. You will only get better with rest.
This contains a compound and a complex sentence. (NOT compound-complex)
The compound is “You should not get up and you should not make dinner.” The word “and” makes it a compound sentence.
The complex is “You need to stay in bed because you’re sick.” The independent clause is “you need to stay in bed” and the dependent clause is “because you’re sick.”
C is correct because we say “That’s a fluffy sheep” when singular and “I like those sheep over there” when plural. Also, we dont say mouses, we say mice. We say children, not childs. We say halves, not halfs. So even by process of elimination, C is the right answer.

The sentence of the OP suggests that women's level of 'feminine incompetence' is not
simply stated/determined, as we could if you asked, "Can the person count to three."
To such a question one can say, "Yes they have that competence." But in the case
at issue, women's abilities to deal with and overcome social obstacles, there are all kinds
of levels; further this issue is not intrinsic to the woman, but relates to her circumstances.
She is not really talking in our sense of 'competence', but rather whether women
will be able to suceed in the face of social complexities and difficulties.
The passage ends with
Here and there is born a Saint Theresa, foundress of nothing, whose loving heart-beats and sobs after an unattained goodness tremble off and are dispersed among hindrances, instead of centring in some long-recognizable deed.
"dispersed among hindrances" is related to this 'incompetence' which is, in other words
insufficient, luck, resources, and opportunities. Saint Theresa (Teresa) is one of those rare successes.

In my opinion, Joan's line suggests somewhat of a misunderstanding. (That's my impression at least.) The writer is NOT saying women lack a basic competence comparable to the ability to count three.
Joan in part (post #2):
If women were all equally incompetent (unable to count to three),
