Which of the following reasons may support the tendency for many human males to show a preference for polygyny?

A) Males have less parental investment than women.
B) In order to maximize the probability of a surviving offspring, the male should mate with as many females as possible.
C) Males do not have to carry the fetus and do not have the biological capabilities to feed the offspring.
D) All of the above.

All of the above reasons may support the tendency for many human males to show a preference for polygyny. Males have less parental investment than females, and therefore mating with multiple females increases the chances of passing on their genes. Additionally, since males do not carry the fetus and do not have the biological capabilities to feed the offspring, their energy towards mating with more than one female can maximize their chances of producing viable and successful offspring.
