Why not B and Why C

however, this proposal also continued to (40) define women in terms of their roles in the domestic . sphere and as mothers. . That neither proposal was able to envision a . system of education that was fully equal for women, . and that neither was adopted into law even as such, (45) bespeaks the immensity of the cultural and political . obstacles to egalitarian education for women at the . time. I understand that the Author does not make a moral judgement about the proposals however, she does seem to hint through her tone that the proposals fall short to a extent. I did not pick up that she thought the Proposals where meant to do as much as feasible at the time, she seems more. Please help me understand?

I think you've answered your own question! The author doesn't make a moral judgement, and we have no support to think that they were unethical. While the proposals did in fact fall short as you correctly noted I think the second part of the text you pointed to gives us great support for C. The author notes that the fact that even the best proposals still were not even for full equality shows the enormity of the task the reformers faced.
