Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that while there are some structural differences between male and female brains, they do not necessarily translate into differences in cognitive ability. It is possible that men and women may use different regions or pathways of their brain for the same task, but still achieve comparable results. Therefore, option C correctly summarizes the research on this topic. Options A and B make unsupported claims about the superiority of one gender's brain over the other, while option D is incorrect as research has identified some differences between male and female brains.
