✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Heredity and Environment in Child Development
Both heredity and environment play a crucial role through their complex interaction in child development. Heredity sets the genetic potential or boundaries for physical and mental capabilities, while environmental conditions determine how much of that potential is actually realized.
- Heredity: Acts as the blueprint or boundary limiter.
- Environment: Acts as the catalyst determining the extent of actualization within those boundaries.
Therefore, option C is the most accurate psychological and academic interpretation of their interaction.
