Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement provides evidence that early enrichment can benefit the development of the brain in animals. While it may be different for humans, this statement does not explicitly make that claim, so option A is not the strongest answer. Additionally, the statement does not suggest that animal and human research are very different, so option C is also not the strongest answer. Therefore, option B is the best choice because it closely aligns with the evidence provided in the statement.
