Choice B is the best answer. In lines 23-26("himself...everything"), Stanton states, "Society is but the reflection of man himself, untempered by woman's thought; the hard iron rule we feel alike in the church, the state, and the home." In this context, man's "rule" in "the church, the state, and the home" means that men have a controlling force in all areas of society.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because in this context "rule" does not mean a general guideline, an established habit, or a procedural method.
