Answer 1

The correct option is D

All of the above

Sexual dimorphism is the condition where the two sexes of the same species exhibit different characteristics or appear different beyond the differences in their sexual organs. This is seen in many animals, insects, birds and some plants. Some of the examples are- mane of a lion which is not seen on a lioness, the peahen does not have a colorful tail like a peacock and only male birds of the paradise perform acrobatics to impress the female.
