Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Masculinity and femininity are opposite ends of the gender-role spectrum, and someone who is typed as masculine on a gender-role scale is high on masculinity and low on femininity. Option A is incorrect because being high on the androgyny scale means having both masculine and feminine traits, not just masculine. Option B is incorrect because being high on androgyny means having a balance of both masculine and feminine traits. Option D is incorrect because congruence refers to whether someone's gender identity matches their biological sex, not their placement on the gender-role scale.
