Option A is true as the M/F scales did not account for the different expressions of masculinity and femininity across sexual orientations, which resulted in homosexual men being rated as feminine. Option B is also accurate as the M/F scales did not measure varying degrees of masculinity or femininity, which limited its accuracy in measuring personality traits. Option C is true since the scales were polar, with masculinity and femininity being perceived as opposing endpoints rather than two distinct continuums.
