The statement "receive higher grades than boys and men at all grade levels and across subjects" is supported by research, which suggests that girls tend to outperform boys in academics. This counters Mateus's argument that men are smarter because of their performance on mental rotation tasks. Therefore, option D is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because working harder does not necessarily mean that one learns more. Option B suggests that women avoid mental rotation tasks altogether, which is not necessarily true. Option C only focuses on verbal abilities, ignoring other academic achievements.
