Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Studies have shown that men who strongly identify with traditional ideas about masculinity are more likely to avoid preventive health care because they view it as a sign of weakness or vulnerability. They may believe that seeking medical attention for preventive measures goes against the idea of being a strong and self-reliant man. This can lead to a higher risk of developing serious health conditions that could have been prevented or detected early through regular check-ups.
