Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
While there may be some cultural variations, it is widely recognized that there are some statistically significant differences in behavior and preferences between genders. However, these differences are not determined solely by genetics and much of individual behavior is influenced by social norms and expectations. Despite this, genetic differences between males and females are minimal and do not account for the majority of gender differences observed.
