Choice D is the best answer. Regarding the dynamic of men and women in society, Beecher says that one sex is given "the subordinate station" while the other is given the "superior" station (lines 1-2"Heaven ...this"). In the context of how one gender exists in comparison to the other, the word "station" suggests a standing or rank.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because in the context of the relative standing of men and women in Beecher's society, the word "station" suggests a standing or rank, not a physical location or area (choices A, B, and C).
