Respuesta :

Option D: Sir Francis Galton coined the phrase "nature versus nurture".

The term 'nature' refers to the effect of genes on one's characteristic traits while the term 'nurture' refers to the effect of upbringing of a child on its characteristic health and other conditions. This is a well-known scientific fact that we acquire traits and inborn health conditions through genes from our parents. These are generally termed genetic traits.

But it is now known that environmental factors can affect your chances to acquire these significant health conditions from your parents. If you are at a risk to get diabetes through genes from your parents, you may adopt a healthier diet and exercise regularly to avoid the adverse health conditions. Also, if the environment is kept negative the child is likely to get depression or mental disorders.

Sir Francis Galton while discussing whether genes or upbringing has the most significant effect on developing humans coined the phrase "nature versus nurture". He particularly referred to genes through nature and one's upbringing environment through nurture.
