B

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B

B) Lower frequency for both dewlap extension and push ups.

After a predatory attack, both dewlap extension and pushup decreases whereas during mating with the female both dewlap extension and pushup tend to increase. So, from the above comparison we can say that expected frequency of dewlap extensions a pushups in males while in the presence of females and a predator decreases.
