In the U.S., boys who are perceived as not conforming to traditional gender roles, such as those who identify themselves as "sissy," are often subject to ridicule and teasing by their peers. Girls who identify as "tomboys" may still face some teasing, but it is generally less severe than what boys who identify as "sissy" may face. Therefore, option C is the most likely to face teasing and ridicule.
