Maccoby and jacklin (1974) found that girls are more likely to comply with the directions of adults than boys, and they are more readily influenced by others than boys are. one explanation your authors offer for these findings is that girls are trained by their mothers to be “agreeable,” while boys are trained by their fathers to be “confrontational.” girls are genetically more docile and conforming than boys. girls are more empathetic than boys, so they don’t want to hurt feelings by disagreeing. girls value harmony and don’t want people to start arguing.

The correct answer would be option C, Girls are more empathetic than boys, so they don't want to hurt feelings by disagreeing.

Explanation:

Maccoby and Jacklin, conducted a research in 1974 to study the psychological differences between men and women. According to their studies, girls are more likely to comply with the directions of adults than boys and they are more readily influenced by others than boys. They found out that this is because girls are more empathetic and they don't want to hurt the feelings of other by disagreeing with them. Here the empathy may have many meanings; empathy can be affective responsiveness to another's emotional state; feeling the pain of someone else so deeply, etc. So naturally girls are more empathetic than boys according to their study.
