B. False

Answer 1

The given statement '' According to the Intersex Society of North American, the total number of people whose bodies differ from standard male or female one in 100 births. '' is false.

So, the correct answer is option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement from the Intersex Society of North America citing that the total number of people whose bodies differ from standard male or female is one in 100 births is actually false. Instead, Anne Fausto-Sterling's detailed analysis indicates that around 1.7 percent of births may present intersex traits, which is approximately 1 in 60 births.

This 1.7 percent figure represents a significant number when considering the global birth rate. In terms of absolute numbers, we're looking at over two million potentially intersex babies born each year worldwide, and in a town of 300,000 people, there could be more than 5,000 individuals who are intersex.
