✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Heredity and Environment in Child Development
It is a universally accepted scientific truth in the study of child development that development is neither solely the result of heredity nor solely of the environment, but rather the continuous and complex interaction of both.
- Heredity's Role: It provides a potential range of capabilities (reaction range) and sets certain physiological and biological limits.
- Environment's Role: It determines where an individual falls within that hereditary boundary based on opportunities, experiences, and overall quality.
Therefore, option A accurately reflects the modern psychological consensus regarding the interactive and bounded nature of human development.
