The word that refers exclusively to biological differences between men and women in anatomy, genetics, or physical functioning is "sex." Choice A ("sex role") refers to the social expectations and behaviors associated with being male or female in a particular culture, rather than biology. Choice B ("culture") refers to the shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that characterize a group or society, which can include gender roles but are not limited to them. Choice C ("gender") refers to the culturally constructed social meanings and expectations associated with being male or female, which are not necessarily tied to biological differences.
