C. Twice as many boys receive special education services

Explanation:

Firstly, The brain of the male is more compartmentalized than the brain of the female. The corpus callosum is about 3 quarter of an inch more in a female brain than in the masculines; the collection of neural fiber which unite the brain's two halves. It allows information to be passed between the two brain hemispheres more easily.

Secondly, a new research suggests that dyslexia is actually more common in boys than in females. Studies in contrast that boys simply diagnose the issue more often, since they generally act off in class when upset.
