    In my opinion, the correct answer is C. Hurston highlights the hardships that women in the community are experiencing through her description of Matty Redding. Sure, Hurston was a feminist who would definitely oppose women's positioning in the domestic sphere exclusively. But this detail of Matty's "watery and weak" eyes has to do with a more general topic, and it's hardships and general oppression of women that destroys their lives.
