Which term describes the doubt about paternity?

• A. A communication pattern characterized by rapid, open dialogue.
• B. The degree to which partners support each other's sexual needs.
• C. The actions taken to increase relationship investments.
• D. The doubt a male may have about whether he is the biological father of a child.

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is paternity uncertainty—the doubt a male may have about whether he is the biological father of a child. This term captures exactly what the statement is describing: questioning biological paternity. It’s distinct from other relationship concepts like how partners communicate, how much they support each other’s sexual needs, or how much they invest in the relationship, which don’t specifically involve doubt about biological paternity. So this option best names the issue being described.
