Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Research suggests that traditional male gender role expectations, such as the pressure to be strong and stoic and not seek help, can lead to men not taking care of their health and not seeking medical attention until their conditions become more severe. This can contribute to men being sicker than women on average. While biological factors may play a role in some specific health conditions, they do not fully explain the overall trend. Traditional female gender role expectations and gender inequality may also impact women's health, but they are not directly relevant to the question of why men may be more sick.
