A)It isn't clear whether the factor structure supports Zuckerman's theory.
B)There is evidence for susceptibility to boredom, experience seeking, thrill and adventure seeking but there is no evidence for disinhibition.
C)Zuckerman's theory is not at all supported by the factor structure of the questionnaire.
D)The four factors clearly represent susceptibility to boredom, experience seeking, thrill and adventure seeking and disinhibition.
