Answer:

The correct answer is - In the one-sex model, the female body was regarded as an "inversion" of the male body.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the ancient greeks, the female body was an inversion of the body of the males and not two distinct bodies of an organism. They believed that the female body comes from changes in the male body. This model is known as the one sex model as they believed Male is the only sex on the earth.

The two-sex model is a model that considers the male body and female body of organisms as two distinct sex.
