There's no link between inherited behaviors and evolution. C.

Inherited behaviors that allow animals to survive and reproduce will be spread throughout the population and can evolve by natural selection.

Answer 1

A. Most behaviors aren't influenced by genes and, therefore, aren't able to evolve.

In evolutionary psychology, the link between genes and behavior isn't significant. This means that other factors such as the environment, culture, community and other elements can influence the behavior of a certain organism. In humans, this is true. We are influenced by our "nuture" that shapes the behavior and actions we do.
