Question

in psychology, the idea that adaptive traits that increase survival chances will become more common in a species, as those who survive long enough will pass on the genes for those traits to more members of their species, is known as:
○ human social survival.
○ evolutionary psychology.
○ behavioral genetics.
○ trait genetics.

Explanation:

Evolutionary psychology focuses on how adaptive traits that enhance survival are passed - on genetically over generations as individuals with these traits live longer and reproduce, spreading the associated genes. Human social survival is not the correct term for this concept. Behavioral genetics mainly studies the role of genes in behavior, and trait genetics is not the specific term for this evolutionary - survival related idea in psychology.

Answer:

B. evolutionary psychology.
