@Julie,

That's correct, the question specifically asks which was a factor in acceptance by the HOSPITALS.

(B) is incorrect because even though foreign mission societies supplied the funding that helped more women to become missionaries, it fails to explain the acceptance by the hospitals.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
