Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The development of calluses on the feet is a result of the interaction between genetic factors (such as the natural thickness of skin) and environmental factors (such as going barefoot). This suggests that both genetic and environmental influences play a role in determining skin toughness. Therefore, choice D, which highlights the interaction between genetic and environmental influences, is the best explanation. Choices A and B suggest that individual genetic differences alone account for skin toughness, while choice C focuses solely on epigenetic marks, which is not the most accurate explanation.
