Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Research on marriage has consistently shown that it brings various benefits, including longer life expectancy, greater happiness, and lower risks for psychological disorders, regardless of the gender composition of the couple. Therefore, the statement that same-sex married couples show fewer of the benefits of marriage is not supported by research findings.
