Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that each of the 10 previous children were born with red hair, intelligence, and athleticism indicates a strong genetic component to these traits, supporting the idea that nature (genetics) plays a significant role in determining these characteristics. This is contrasted with the nurture (environmental) argument, which suggests that these traits are more heavily influenced by upbringing and experiences. Therefore, choice B is the best answer, as it correctly identifies nature as the likely factor in determining the traits of the 11th child based on the previous children's characteristics. Options C and D are not relevant to the given information and are therefore incorrect.
