a) true

b) false

B). False.

Explanation:

The given statement asserts a false claim about the American Psychologist Carol Gilligan's view on moral development of women and men. It wrongly asserts that women are required to interact socially to make righteous decisions that are based on abstract conceptual standards while the men make decisions on effects of behavior. She rather argued that the girls display various patterns of moral development that are greatly based on relationships, behavior, and the emotions of care along with the responsibility for others and the men's decision-making rely on standards and logic. Thus, the assertion is false.
