The brains of men and women are alike. - The passage does not claim that the brains of men and women are exactly alike. It states that no decisive category-defining differences have been found, which is different from saying they are alike in every aspect.
Science needs to challenge the status quo. - While the professor's research challenges existing stereotypes, the primary conclusion is not about the need for science to challenge the status quo but rather about the findings related to brain differences.
Society must break away from attempts at stereotyping gender issues. - This is an implication of the research, but it is not the primary conclusion of the professor's findings. The research results lead to this suggestion rather than directly establishing it.
The potential of a human brain is not directly linked to gender. - This is the correct answer. The passage states, \"Her conclusive findings establish that no brain differences can be found that are solely gender related,\" which means the potential of the brain is not directly linked to gender.
