Which of the following statements is consistent with these data? In the figure below, the lighter gray circles represent single-male breeding systems in primates and the darker gray circles indicate multi-male systems. Which of the following statements is consistent with these data?   A)  Single-male breeding systems select for smaller testes size because sperm are not needed to increase reproductive success.

C)  Species with multi-male systems evolve larger testes because they have higher body weights. D)  Selection favors large testes relative to body weight when a male's sperm must compete directly with other males.
