Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Based on research, it is suggested that the largest difference in mathematical ability between men and women is at the upper end of the distribution, where the highest scores are found. However, it's important to note that this is a controversial topic and there may be individual variations in mathematical ability regardless of gender.
