Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Studies have shown that women generally express a wider range of emotions than men and are more likely to openly express emotions such as fear or sadness. On the other hand, men are often expected to repress their emotions or limit them to those considered more "masculine," such as anger. Therefore, it is likely that women expressed powerlessness emotions and happiness more than men.
