How Did the Role of Women Change from the Early

How did the role of women change from the early Christian church to the third century?

A) The early church had forbidden women from any public participation in religious work, but by the third century, women were allowed into limited leadership roles in female monasteries.
B) The early church had almost no female members, since Jesus had exclusively recruited men, and their later entrance into the church led church officials to permit women only in minor, marginal roles.
C) Women played an active role in the early church, preaching as missionaries and sometimes martyred for their faith, but restrictions soon were placed on their activities, and they were excluded from holding official positions in Christianity.
D) In the early church, women were permitted minor roles to support the work of men, but by the third century, women had key leadership roles throughout the church hierarchy.
