d. Some social roles are better suited to one gender than the other.

Explanation:

Functionalists view society as a complex system and that people must work together in other to stay stable. Functionalists believe in gender inequality, and that it exists as an efficient way to create division in labor (Men are supposed to do some work and Women are supposed to do other; never mixing them). The statement that best represents this believe is the letter "d" (Some social roles are better suited to one gender than the other).
