This choice illustrates the interaction between nature and nurture because it suggests that while there may be an innate predisposition for motor development, environmental stimulation is necessary for proper development. This suggests that both genetic and environmental factors play a role in motor development. The other choices focus primarily on either genetic or developmental principles, rather than the interaction between the two.
