Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behavioral scientists study the behavior of living organisms, including humans, in order to understand the laws of nature that govern behavior. They may use statistical analyses to help explain their findings, but their focus is on the behavior itself. Choice A refers to the domain of statistics, while choice C is too narrow; although behavioral scientists may study nonhuman species, they are not limited to them. Choice D is also too narrow, as statistical language is only a small part of the behavioral science discipline.
