Dr. Schumacher is trying to determine if a particular kind of high blood pressure is more affected by genetics or lifestyle. To do this, he checks the blood pressures of several groups of people:

Families made up of relatives who live together

Families made up of relatives who do not live together, especially those who were given up for adoption as children

Groups of people who are not related, but who live together, especially those people who were adopted as children.

If this high blood pressure depends more on genetics than on lifestyle, Dr. Schumacher will probably find that it is shared by

A.

group 2: relatives who do not live together.

B.

husbands and wives.

C.

parents and their adopted children

D.

group 3: people who live together but are not related to each other.
