Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Passive gene-environment correlation occurs when a child's family environment, influenced by parental genes, provides experiences that are correlated with the child's own genetic tendencies. In choice B, a parent exposing a child to different activities, regardless of the child's interest, reflects this scenario where the environment is shaped by the parent's interests or genetic predispositions, potentially aligning with or enhancing the child's own genetic predispositions.
