Letter A is the correct answer.

Evolutionary psychologists are most likely to be criticized for giving hindsight explanations for certain human behaviors. For instance, if you have a kid who doesn't eat spinach like the rest of the family does, an evolutionary psychologist will suggest that, over many generations, your child inherited this aversion to spinach.
