Answer: d. Men are more likely to engage in pseudo listening behaviors.

Explanation:

Pseudo-listening is a style of non-listening which consists of usually appearing to be attentive in a conversation while you are actually ignoring or only partially listening or following what the other speaker is saying. The main aim of pseudo-listening is not to listen, but to attend to the listeners personal needs.
