On the basis of the accounts of the travellers which statement regarding the status of women is not correct?

Women were confined to their homes.

The correct answer is Option (4) → Women were confined to their homes.

The reason the statement "Women were confined to their homes" is not entirely accurate based on the accounts of travelers is that historical records and travelogues often reveal a more nuanced and varied picture of the roles of women in different societies. While it is true that certain cultural practices and norms in some regions may have restricted women's mobility or emphasized domestic responsibilities, it is overly simplistic to suggest that women were universally confined to their homes. Many historical accounts highlight the diversity of women's roles and activities. Travelers' accounts often depict women engaged in various activities outside the domestic sphere. For example, women from merchant families were known to participate in commercial activities, and in some societies, women worked in agricultural and non-agricultural roles. The degree of women's involvement in public life varied across cultures and regions.

So, the correct option is [4].
