B Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'were look' is grammatically incorrect. Look down is phrasal verb, and in passive voice it requires the past participle 'looked' not base form 'look'. The correct phrase is 'women were looked down upon' or 'women were looked down as'. This tests passive voice formation.
