Their power in the family was increased, as people who performed foot binding were known to be active socially with others. None of the other options would work in this situation.

Answer:

They often could walk only with assistance and their activity outside of the home was decreased.

Explanation:

Women's subordinate position was reinforced in late Song times when the custom of foot binding emerged. Tiny feet and a stilted walk became a symbol of nobility and beauty. Foot binding was extremely painful, yet the custom survived. Even peasant parents feared that they could not find a husband for a daughter with large feet. Women with bound feet often could not walk without help. Thus, foot binding reinforced the Confucian tradition that women should remain inside the home.
