<u>Answer:</u>

This observation is most consistent with the sensory exploitation hypothesis.

Option: (C)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The 'sensory exploitation hypothesis' states that the male sexual characters as adaptations are to exploit female reaction that is developed in non-sexual contexts.
  • As we see the example in the case of female platy fishes, how they prefer the male fish having the artificial sword like structures that are attached to their tails.
