B. Matriarchal
C. Liberated
D. Modern

Answer 1

Hint: It is a type of society where men are considered more powerful in comparison than women. It also comprises a male-ruled structure all through organized society and in personal relationships.

Complete answer:
Power is related to privilege. In a framework wherein men have more power than ladies, men have some degree of advantage to which ladies are not entitled.

The idea of male controlled society has been fundamental to numerous feminist theories. It is an endeavor to clarify the delineation of intensity and advantage by sexual orientation that can be seen by numerous goal measures. A male centric society, from the old Greek patriarches, was a general public where power was held by and passed down by the senior men. At the point when current history specialists and sociologists portray a "man centric culture," they imply that men hold the places of intensity and have more advantage: top of the nuclear family, heads of social gatherings, manager in the work environment, and heads of government.

In man centric society, there is likewise an order among the men. In conventional male centric society, the senior men had control over the younger generation of men. In present day man centric society, a few men hold more power (and advantage) by virtue of the situation of power, and this power hierarchy (and privilege) is generally accepted.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note:Just like there is patriarchy, matriarchy exists as well. Women run or head family, society, community, state and government in matriarchy. The Khasi tribe of North East India is famous for being a matriarchal society.
