The correct answer is B, that both men and women participated in food production, but they focused on different types of productions.
Since the Iroquois had a matriarchal society, female gender was in dominance.
The Iroquoian woman had a great amount of authority and power in the community. The people of Iroquois clan practiced agriculture. Women were the Culture Keeper of the society. They were responsible for social, political, economic and spiritual, norms of the tribe. While, Women took care of farming, food, gathering, and housekeeping, the Iroquois Men were responsible for hunting, trading, and fighting. Therefore both the sexes were engaged in food production where Women were involved in the fields and men did all the work involving the forest including the manufacturing the commodities.
