Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Research has shown that in response to stress, women are more likely to engage in "tending and befriending" behaviors, which involve nurturing others and seeking social support. This response is thought to be related to women's traditional role as caregivers and social support providers. Therefore, option D is the most appropriate choice. Options A and B appear to be gender-neutral behaviors rather than gender-specific, and Option C is a difficult behavior to generalize about gender differences.
