Answer - A - Both Christianity and Buddhism gave women access to spiritual salvation.

Key Takeaway: Both Christianity and Buddhism maintained that women and men had equal access to salvation.

Still, many argue that both Buddhism and Christianity have universally regarded women with dignity and respect.
