Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The theory of XYY chromosomes in males suggests that men with an extra Y chromosome are more prone to aggressive and violent behavior, leading to deviant behavior.

Answer: D 
 Phrenology is the study of the shape and size of the skull and its relationship to human behavior. Its practitioners believed that different parts of the brain were responsible for different behaviors and that the shape of the skull could predict criminality or deviant behavior. However, this theory has been discredited and is no longer considered valid.

Therefore, the best choice would be A.
