Explanation

This is the correct answer, as the introductory sentence of the passage refers to redefining gender norms through education. The first sentence according to this option refers to the way education has changed social norms around the world. This is followed by a statement that mentions that there is research to back this up. The next sentence refers to this happening in India and this is followed by an example of change in marginalised societies in India. This is logically followed by the last closing sentence that again mentions empowerment through education. Thus, this is correct.
