Chandler and John are engaged in a debate about intimate partner violence. Chandler opines that marital death rates are falling and women are less likely to be killed by their husband
However, John argues otherwise and states that women are increasingly suffering from marital deaths. Which of the following statements, if true, is most likely to strengthen Chandler's opinion?
A) Women are increasingly postponing marriage and are hence marrying mature men who have greater conflict resolution skills.
B) Among AfricanAmerican and Latino communities, the gang membership among men has decreased substantially and hence men are less likely to grow up to be abusive.
C) Studies have shown that women are increasingly reporting domestic violence unlike during previous decades and hence are more likely to identify and report abusive husbands or domestic partners early.
D) There is a steep rise in the number of women taking up self-defense classes in the United States.
