Answer
A
Women have higher literacy rates than men.
B
Girls are more likely to attend school than boys.
C
Baby girls are more likely to die of malnutrition or neglect than baby boys.
D
Woman make up more than half of the Indian workforce.

Explanation

In India, gender inequality can lead to girls receiving less nutrition and care than boys. As a result, baby girls are more likely to die from malnutrition or neglect. Women’s literacy rates are lower than men’s, and women make up less than half of the workforce, so A and D are false.
