Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Peter's comment about Mary's appearance in her suit could be seen as benevolent sexism, because it is a positive compliment, but it is still based on gender stereotypes about women's appearance and appropriate attire in the workplace. Hostile sexism would involve more overtly negative and disrespectful behavior towards women, while ambivalent sexism encompasses both benevolent and hostile attitudes towards women. Racist sexism is not applicable in this case as it pertains to discrimination based on both race and gender.
