b. Marked differences in male and female anatomy and temperament.

Explanation:

Sexual dimorphism describes the condition where the two sexes of the same species shows difference in characteristics besides the differences in colour, shape, size, structure and their sexual organs. Exhibition of different morphology and anatomy in two sexes of the same species are the result of transmission of one or the other sexual pattern present in the genetic material.

In some species, one sex or the other often shows traits that are not found in the other which appear not adequate to the environment.
