Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
It is not scientifically accurate to make broad generalizations about individuals based on their gender. However, research has shown that, on average, males tend to be more physically aggressive than females. Therefore, it is most likely that Trent is more physically aggressive than Sue. It is important to note that this does not mean that all males are more aggressive than all females, or that traits such as intelligence, leadership, or negotiation skills are inherently linked to gender.
