In mammals, the strongest males hold large territories and therefore ____.

A) control a lek
B) exhibit sexual dimorphism
C) share parenting duties
D) are monogamous
E) mate with all the females inside the area

In mammals, dominant males who hold large territories are typically polygamous and mate with all the females within their territory. This allows them to maximize their reproductive success by fathering offspring with multiple partners. Option A is incorrect because control of a lek refers to a display ground where males gather to attract mates, which is not necessarily related to territory size. Option B is incorrect because sexual dimorphism refers to differences in physical characteristics between males and females, which may or may not be related to territorial behavior. Option C is incorrect because shared parenting duties are not necessarily related to territorial behavior. Option D is incorrect because monogamy involves exclusive mating between one male and one female, which is not consistent with polygamous territorial behavior.
