The term "gender roles" refers to the set of social and cultural expectations that dictate how individuals of a certain gender should think, feel, and behave. These expectations are typically based on stereotypical notions of masculinity and femininity, and often include specific behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs. So, C is the most appropriate answer. A is incorrect because homosexuality is not relevant to the topic of gender roles.
