Question

Hemraj Bairwa · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Evolutionary psychologists would argue that men are more likely to leave their wives to marry other women because they have a greater reproductive capacity and can father children with multiple partners. In contrast, women have a limited reproductive capacity and may prioritize finding a stable and committed partner for the well-being of their offspring, leading them to be less likely to leave their husbands for other men.
