D
One physiological theory of aging focuses on genetics, stating that people are born with a genetic program that predetermines life span. Another focuses on a person's nutrition during his or her life span, and yet another focuses on the fact that all fine-tuned machinery—and that includes body parts—wear out or become less effective as they are repeatedly used. Response D—personality—is incorrect because it does not relate directly to a physiological factor.
