Option A - Asphyxiation happens when someone is literally strangled, which is not the case here. Hence, option A can be eliminated. / Option C - Prohibiting entry is more of a physical denial rather than something that has to do with abstract aspects like "entry of thoughts". Hence, option C can be eliminated.
Option D - This option seems to be the perfect contextual fit. The question in the passage is, "… have they (the gender stereotypes) established a stranglehold in our perceptions?". This seems to be more appropriate than option B, because a containment cannot be "established”. On the other hand, an overwhelming control can be established.
Hence, the right choice is option D.
