The correct answer is 3.
The sex hormones, or gender, would not be able to discriminate the occurrence of cancer, due to exposure to a carcinogen.
Gender may affect in the cases when the cancer is hereditary, and it sex-linked.
Otherwise, in non-hereditary cancers, the gender and sex hormones will not affect the chances of getting cancer.
