In the question given below, a passage is given

Solution

The premise tells us that prenatal exposure to male hormones influences the activities girls might be interested in, but do not influence the gender girls identify with or whom they socialize with. The argument then goes on to say that this strengthens the idea that gender identity does not rely on biological factors. From this, we can infer that prenatal exposure to male hormones is a biological factor. Thus, 1 follows. We can also infer that the conception of gender identity includes these two factors - the gender one identifies with and whom one socializes with. Thus, 3 can also be inferred. Thus, (b) is the right answer. 2 cannot be inferred as the premise does not support this claim; it only tells us that it does not influence the gender they identify with. This does not imply that girls identify with the female gender more if exposed prenatally to male hormones.
