✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
Understanding Heredity and Environment in Child Development
The interaction between heredity and environment is a crucial concept in developmental psychology. Research on identical twins (monozygotic twins) raised in separate environments demonstrates that development is the result of a continuous and complex interaction between genetic makeup and environmental factors.
- Heredity (Nature): Sets the biological boundaries and potentials for various traits.
- Environment (Nurture): Influences how these genetic potentials are expressed and developed.
- Interaction: Modern psychology establishes that development cannot be attributed to either factor in isolation; they work in tandem.
Therefore, Option C is the most scientifically accurate conclusion.
