Answer:

B- More women than men tend to vote for Democrats.

Explanation:

Gender can be defined as a term that defines either a woman or a man based on certain biological characteristics.

Basically, a man has various biological characteristics such as reproductive organs, beards, hormones (testosterone), broader chest, broaden shoulders, chest and facial hair, chromosomes (X and Y) etc.

On the other hand, the biological characteristics of a woman includes broader hips, mammary glands, chromosomes (XX), hormones (oestrogen), external genitalia, ovaries etc.

Hence, the gender (sex) of a human is broadly categorized based on their biological characteristics as either a man or woman.

A gender gap can be defined as a difference between males (men) and females (women) with respect to how they are treated based on certain factors such as political, social, economical, cultural, or intellectual attitude and environment. Thus, it is a measure of the difference between how men and women are treated in the society or between what men and women engage in, do, achieve or likes.

Hence, the statement that is evidence of a gender gap is saying, more women than men tend to vote for Democrats. It simply means that, there is a difference in the demography that voted for the Democrats.
