In the last paragraph of this reading, geneticist Robert Plomin is quoted as saying, The wave of acceptance
  of genetic influence on behavior is growing into a tidal wave that threatens to engulf the second message of this
  research. These same data provide the best available evidence for the importance of environmental influences.
  Which of the following best restates Plomin's meaning?
 
  a. In addition to focusing on the idea that the genes we are born with influence our personalities, psychologists
  should also keep in mind that our surroundings and experiences can shape our personalities as well.
  b. The field of genetics is expanding with the same speed and destructive force as a tidal wave on the natural
  environment.
  c. The primary message of the naturenurture debate is that it is pointless to argue about what influences personality
  development.
  d. Those who believe that our genes influence our personalities are mistaken; the environment alone is the deciding
  factor in explaining why we are the way we are.

Readers expect a balance of text and visuals on a Web page.
