Restating the scenario and options to set the stage: Tania receives a doll for her 2nd birthday while her brother Steven receives a fire truck. The question asks which term best captures this example. 
Option 1: Bending. This term is not a standard sociological concept used to describe how children learn or internalize norms about gendered behavior; it sounds like a misfit term here. 
Option 2: Indifference. Indifference would imply a lack of attention or concern, which does not apply to a patterned assignment of toys based on gender norms in the scenario. It misses the social-process aspect at play. 
Option 3: Socialization. This is the idea that individuals learn and internalize the norms, values, and roles of their culture or society, including gender roles reflected in the types of toys given to boys and girls. The example illustrates how children are guided toward gender-typical play by social expectations conveyed by family choices. 
Option 4: Stratification. Stratification refers to hierarchical arrangement of groups in society (e.g., class, race, caste) and is about inequality and access to resources over social layers. While gender interacts with stratification, the specific example of toy assignment is better explained by the process of socialization rather than systemic inequality itself. 
In summary, the scenario aligns with the concept of socialization, as it demonstrates how gender norms are transmitted through parental choices and social expectations. The other options either mischaracterize the phenomenon (Bending, Indifference, Stratification) or describe different social processes that do not directly capture the given example.
