Explanation / Answer

1) Masters and Johnson are best known for their studies of the human sexual response.
Their research was focused on understanding human sexual response, dysfunction, and disorders through the direct observation of anatomical and physiological sexual responses of human subjects.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

2)

A researcher wants to know how pheromones affect sexual attraction. He divides forty male subjects into three groups.
One group is exposed to clean air while reading a description of a potential sexual partner. The second is exposed to female pheromones while reading the descriptions. The third is exposed to male pheromones while reading the descriptions. After reading the descriptions, the men are asked to rate how attractive they found the people described. The independent variable in this experiment, are the pheromones the subjects are exposed to in the study.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

3) People in the United States and Europe historically characterized gender identity, in a binary manner, in which male and female characteristics are seen as mutually exclusive categories.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

4) Polyandry (one woman, many husbands) refers to sexual relations with multiple males within or without marriage. Therefore a relationship is said to be polyandrous, when one woman is in a long-term relationship with several men simultaneously.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

5) Correlational studies are associations between variables. They tell us about the measure of strength between two or more covariables. But they do not provide a cause and effect relationship. Thus, they tell that a change in one factor you’re observing may be associated with a change in a second factor you’re observing.

Hence, the correct option is (D).
