Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Research on gender and friendships often finds that women report their friendships with other women as being more intimate and nurturing compared to their friendships with men. Conversely, men typically do not report a significant difference in intimacy and nurturing between their friendships with men and women, but the trend leans towards men's friendships with women being perceived as more intimate and nurturing than those with other men, aligning with societal norms and expectations around emotional expression and support within gender groups.
