The correct answers are the following:

In developing countries, where resources and opportunities are scarce for everybody, the access of women to them is even more complicated.

Moreover, if a woman does not live with her husband's or father's income, is very unlikely that she is hired for any job, and therefore they are exposed to higher poverty and hunger risks.
