Finally, socialist feminists and most bourgeois feminists concurred in subordinating women's emancipation to what they considered the more important goal of liberating the entire Russian population from political oppression, economic backwardness, and social injustice.

Answer choice B: The achievement of larger political aims should take precedence over the achievement of women's rights.
Larger political aims = liberating the entire Russian population from political oppression, etc.
Achievement of women's rights = women's emancipation.
Asserting that larger political aims take precedence over the achievement of women's rights is the same as asserting that the achievement of women's rights (women's emancipation) should be subordinate to the goal of larger political aims (liberation of the entire population from political oppression, etc.)
