Effective polygyny refers to the number of mates a male primate can have access to, while sexual dimorphism refers to physical differences between males and females. In species with greater effective polygyny, there tends to be greater sexual dimorphism, with males being larger, more aggressive, and having more elaborate sexual display traits. This is because competition for mates is high, and males need to be able to physically and behaviorally compete for access to females. Therefore, the answer is B, greater the effective polygyny, greater the sexual dimorphism.
