Below 400 level BTG Practice test question

[bubbliiiiiiii]

Children of alcoholics are much more likely to become alcoholics than are children of nonalcoholics. The likelihood varies depending on which parent is alcoholic and is much greater if both are alcoholic. This pattern holds true even if children are separated from their alcoholic parent[s] at birth.

Which of the following conclusions can most reliably be drawn from the statements above?


Children of nonalcoholics do not become alcoholics.
Fathers influence their children's alcoholic tendencies more than mothers do.
A tendency toward alcoholism can be at least partially determined by genetics.
Environment has little influence on alcoholism.
Because it is inherited, alcoholism is difficult to treat.

OA C

I am sorry for posting this in wrong forum by mistake. I am not sure how to shift it to the correct ones. Apart from answering the question, can someone help in this regard as well?

Just wanna add some more info in support of Op C

As its been said in the argument that, if children are separated from their alcoholic parent[s] at birth still the pattern hold true...this statement clearly refers...that something related to genetic is involved...
Also for Op D...I'm actually not convinced with the @Singh's reasoning...

Environment has little influence on alcoholism.
Environment not discussed

here environment means the day to day activities or the culture or the things happen in family daily...If we say that environment is not discussed here then in that case for OA C we can also say that GENETICS is not directly referred here....

The passage doesn't have to use the word genetics to be about genetics; it's about parents traits being inherited by their children. Environment is not discussed, except to the extent that putting children in a different environment does not prevent the tendency toward alcoholism.
