Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
This statement is false because arousal is not solely measured by physical responses such as lubrication and vasocongestion. Subjective arousal, or how sexually aroused a woman feels, is also important to consider. The correct statement would be that arousal is measured by both subjective and physical responses.
