In the context of the interaction of 'Heredity' and 'Environment' in the process of human development, which of the following philosophical and scientific perspectives is most accurately underlined by Woodworth's famous equation $Development = Heredity \times Environment$?

Correct Answer Explanation

According to Woodworth, development is the result of a continuous and dynamic interaction between heredity and environment. They are multiplicative factors rather than additive ones.

• Multiplicative Relationship: If either heredity or environment is zero, the resulting development is also zero.
• Dynamic Interaction: Both elements are interdependent and cannot be separated in human growth.

Therefore, option B is the most scientifically accurate interpretation of Woodworth's developmental equation.
