Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Social role theory posits that the perceived differences in behavior between genders are often exaggerated due to the distinct social roles that men and women are expected to fulfill, rather than significant inherent differences. This theory suggests that societal expectations and roles contribute to the amplification of minor gender differences.
