c.

testosterone levels are much larger in males (that's why they tend to build muscle easier) and as for answers a and b both of them are incorrect as it is the other way around :)

Females who lift weights are not going to develop large, bulky muscles because they have lower testosterone levels than men . Correct answer: C

Testosterone is a sex hormone that regulates sexual development, muscle mass, and red blood cell production. It supports muscle, strength, and energy. Women produce testosterone too but their level is lower than men.
