Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The family wage system paid men more than women based on the assumption that they were the breadwinners. This system was based on the idea that women were only working temporarily until they got married or had children, and therefore did not need to earn as much as men who were expected to support a family. This system reinforced gender inequalities in the workplace and assumed that women's primary role was in the home rather than in the workforce.
