Answer:

The correct answer is C. Some people "might be apt to" criticize the practice.

Explanation:

An understatement is a tool used by a speaker to make <u>a situation less important. </u>

In this case, the speaker shows how people were against <em>“females to become breeders”</em>. In a simpler way, they opposed the simple fact that women have children, coming to compare this act as an animal act.
