    The case of Genie and her failure to acquire meaningful language ability best supports D. the critical period theory.

    Genie was a wild child - she lived in nature, surrounded by animals and didn't have any contact with humans or human language. This is why it was really difficult for her to acquire a language once she grew older - critical period is very important when learning a language because a language is acquired fastest when the child is young.
