Answer:
a. sexual dimorphism was developing over time in these species
Explanation:
Sexual dimorphism is an evolutionary change that occurs over time in species, which could be as a result of sexual selection which makes both sex of a species develop a systematic difference in form, which can manifest in terms of body size, color, secondary sex characteristics, and size of some structures such as larynx size which accounts for deeper voices in males in relation to levels of testosterone. This is later passed across from generation to generation over time.
