What dopamine-driven human tendency is evolutionarily adaptive yet detrimental to modern-day well-being, and can be counteracted with intentional activities like expressing gratitude?
A) The tendency to always want more rather than be content with what one currently has; this is adaptive because it motivates resource acquisition and survival, but in the present day can lead to dissatisfaction
B) The tendency to settle for the status quo even if it is less than ideal; this adaptation is thought to allow for energy conservation but today results in laziness
C) The tendency to crave social interaction, which helped us survive prehistorically but now causes us to live in overwhelmingly populated environments
D) The tendency to base happiness on what one has in the absolute sense rather than relative to other people; this means that today, people are unlikely to engage in automatic social comparison
