Solution:

Gender disparity is a social phenomenon in which men and women are not treated equally. There are several distinctions in their treatment as biology, psychology, or cultural norms prevalent in the society. Some of these distinctions are empirically grounded, while others appear to be social constructs.Children face many problems due to gender disparity such as:There are many restrictions for girls or boys in different conditions, such as Many people think that cricket is a game for boys and badminton for girls.They are separated in school, classrooms to sit separately. Gender stereotype is an oversimplified and unfair belief or idea that groups of people have particular characteristics or that all people in a group are the same. Gender disparity can be reduced by encouraging gender-stereotype flexibility.In a classroom, teachers should have to treat boys and girls equally.Making the environment of the classroom flexible for all, all as treated as students instead of girls or a boy.Teachers should provide equal opportunities to both girls and boys.There is no place for particularized activities for girls and some for boys. Everything is for both.So that by all these, gender gap/gender stereotypes are reduced. Hence option (3) is the correct answer.?Important PointsGender segregated seating promotes gender inequality so that it is irrelevant to the question.Gender roles and modeling gender type, always promote the gender gap, they never reduced the gap between the genders.
