Answer
A
backing a female candidate for the US presidency.
B
hiring Phyllis Schlafly to promote cultural equality.
C
supporting the Equal Rights Amendment.

Explanation

In the 1970s, the National Organization for Women (NOW) made ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) a major goal. The amendment would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex. NOW did not hire Phyllis Schlafly, who was a prominent opponent of the ERA, so choice B is incorrect.
