Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The film "Carol" is based on the novel "The Price of Salt" by Patricia Highsmith which explores the relationship between two women in the 1950s. The film is focused on the women's experiences and emotions, making it a prime example of a "woman's picture" in the 21st century. The other options, such as "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "Blockers" have male leads or cater to a mixed-gender audience, while "Bridesmaids" is a comedy about female friendships but does not necessarily fit the genre of a "woman's picture."
