Explanation:

Evolutionary psychology focuses on how evolutionary processes (like inherited genes) shape behavior, especially for survival and reproduction (finding a mate here). Cognitive neuroscience studies brain - cognition links, behavioral neuroscience focuses on brain - behavior/neurobiological links, and behaviorism focuses on observable behavior and conditioning. Aarav's view ties behavior to inherited genes for mating, so evolutionary psychology fits.
