Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The statement reflects the principles of evolutionary psychology, which postulates that evolution has shaped the human psyche in ways that promote survival and reproduction. In the case of mate selection, women have evolved to be more selective because they have a finite number of eggs and need to ensure that their offspring have the best chances of survival and reproduction.
