Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The scenario illustrates the concept of "the glass ceiling," which refers to the invisible barrier that prevents certain individuals, often women, from advancing to higher levels of leadership or achievement in their careers, despite their qualifications or achievements. Sabrina's decision to open a bakery instead of returning to her previous job reflects her perception of such a barrier in her career progression after a long break.
