the fundamental idea behind natural selection is that, within a particular environment, a genetically influenced trait tends to be more successful and thus able to survive and be passed on. Environmental psychologists examine the ________ that led to survival, and which then led to further reproduction for survival. It doesn't matter to environmental psychologists whether those behavioral tendencies are adaptive in today's environment.

a) behavioral tendencies
b) innate characteristics
c) heritability
d) psychological traits

I am kind of confused but I chose D. Am I right?

Based on the information provided, the answer would be a) behavioral tendencies. Environmental psychologists examine the behavioral tendencies that led to survival and reproduction. These psychologists are interested in understanding how certain behaviors in a specific environment contribute to an organism's ability to survive and reproduce. Note that psychological traits and innate characteristics are also relevant to the study of natural selection, but in this specific context, the focus is on behavioral tendencies.
