Answer: B
Rationale: Heritability is a statistic, expressed as a number between zero and one, that represents the degree to which genetic differences between individuals contribute to individual differences in a behavior or trait found in a population. A heritability of zero means that genes do not contribute to individual differences in a trait whereas heritability of 1.0 indicates that genes account for all individual differences in a trait.
