    The correct answer is C. Sexual harassment

    Explanation:

    Sexual harassment refers to sexual behavior or advances that are not welcomed by the individual being harassed. This includes verbal or non-verbal sexual remarks, asking for sexual favors, unwelcome touching, among others. Additionally, sexual harassment is part of gender discrimination because this mainly occurs when the perpetrators are men and the victims are women; also, this creates unequal conditions for women at the workplace, streets, etc.

    Sexual harassment is the type of gender discrimination experienced by Madison because she receives unwanted sexual comments by men and this leads to gender discrimination, not only because there is a negative unequal treatment but because this leads to unfavorable conditions that make her feel threatened when she is on the street.
