Solution

The correct option is A Sexual dimorphism
Sexual dimorphism is the changes that are observed in two sexes of the same organism. In humans, the male and the female can be distinguished on the basis of many characters. The males have XY and the females have XX chromosomes in their genotype. There are changes in the shape of the body, height, muscle mass, the size of the body, etc. In females, there is the development of the mammary glands and the pelvic region broadens. The males are taller than the females.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
