Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel's composing career was less extensive than her brother Felix's. This is probably because she was
A. female.
B. younger.
C. not interested in music.
D. religious

A. Female.She was denied certain opportunities because she was female, such as by her father. She was actually four years older than Felix, so B doesn’t make sense, she was certainly very interested in music (you know, being a composer and all), and I don’t believe her religion is relevant to the question.
