I believe the answer is: D. Lev Vygotsky

Lev Vygotsky argued the cognitive development that happened to most people are not influenced by genetics alone.
For example, the way their parents teach them, the quality of education that they receive, the type social interaction that they have in their neighborhood, and the type of nutrients intake that they have could affect their cognitive development as a whole.
