C

Answer to Question 2

A
Belenky theorized that the highest perspective of knowledge occurs when the knower views the self as capable of creating knowledge, and both objective and subjective strategies for knowing are valued. The constructed knower seeks to integrate the voices and blend both the knowledge that is intuitively considered personally important and that which is learned from others.
