In the context of gender differences in coping with stress, which of the following comparisons is correct?

A) Women are less likely than men to seek support from others in times of stress.
B) Women tend to have larger social networks than men, including friends and extended family members.
C) Women are less likely than men to share personal issues and concerns with friends and family members.
D) Women have less opportunity than men to benefit from the positive health effects of social support.

Research suggests that women tend to have larger social networks than men and are more likely to seek out support from friends and family members in times of stress. This may be due to societal expectations of women as caretakers and nurturers. Women also tend to engage in more emotion-focused coping strategies, such as seeking social support, whereas men are more likely to engage in problem-focused coping strategies. However, there is no evidence that women are less likely to share personal issues and concerns with friends and family members compared to men, and both genders can benefit from the positive health effects of social support.
