Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The active child theme suggests that the child's phenotype (observable characteristics) is influenced by their environment, including their interactions and experiences. The genotype (genetic makeup) may play a role in these observable traits, but it is the environment that has more direct influence. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A could also be a partial answer, but it does not fully capture the active child theme. Option B and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the emphasis on the child's active role in shaping their own development through their interactions and experiences in their environment.
