C.
题目里面问的是economic concerns of women,这是关键所在。尽管女人参与的cases更多了，但是她们的关注点仍然是讨债-continued to pursue their own and their husbands' debtors through legan action much as they had done in the previous century!而男人呢，men's commercial interests became increasingly far-flung，他们的关注点却更为广泛。

B 明显错误。 因为它说 Women’s economic activities had become less varied by the end of the century。 女人的activities怎么可能变得less varied呢？ 与文章内容背道而驰
