I think depending on the parents and the family situation, they can all be true. The only one I see that's not necessarily a statistic is D. I'm not too sure that fathers help out at home as much as the mothers do.
I'm a wife and mother of two. We both work full time. He works 40 hours and I work 45 hours with a much longer drive. I take the kids to and from day care and school. I do the grocery shopping, with the kids. I do all the housework, dishes, laundry, bathrooms, kids' rooms, etc. I take care of all of the kids' needs when it comes to discipline, bathing, feeding, etc. I take the kids to all their doctors and dentists appointments. And I clean up after and take out the dog and make sure he gets all of his shots on time.
This is what mu husband does. He works his regular 40 hour a week job. Gets home more than 2 hours before us every day. Takes a nap. Takes a shower. Watches TV. Hangs out with the kids for a while during the time that I'm cleaning. Once a week, he mows the grass. And once a week he washes his car. He doesn't even wash my car while he's doing his. There's no one in this world that can tell me that fathers do as much as mothers.

D, because most of the time the fathers are at work tring to support their family so in general that is not true.
