Damien Zimmerman · Answer 1

The correct answer is option A. "an individual's intellectual development is determined by heredity".

Explanation:

There are multiple hereditary studies that look to understand in what degree certain traits are developed by individuals, either genetically or by the environment. In the case of an individual's intellectual development, most researchers have agreed that approximately 80 percent comes from the heredity. This is seen once the individual has reached adulthood, while 20% is seen in infancy and 40% in adolescence.
