The answer is: A. Intersectionality.

Intersectionality lies on the principle that everybody experiences life in a different way, and that these differences arise from the intersection of the numerous social categories to which a person adscribes. For example, a white middle class man living in the United States, will not have the same life experiences or personal biography than an indigenous woman also living in the United States.

The concept was first used in gender studies, to analyze the differences in women's experiences around the world and throughout different social classes.
