Which psychological perspective might advance the argument that our sleep patterns evolved as an adaptive response to predatory risks, which are higher during periods of darkness?

a. cognitive behavioral

b. dependent

c. evolutionary

d. Freudian

C). Evolutionary.

Explanation:

'Evolutionary periods' are demonstrated as the higher periods that exist during darkness. This phase or period focuses on the behaviors associated with fear, biases, and associations as the outcome or consequence of the process of evolution.

As per the description, the 'evolutionary perspective' would assist in advancing the argument related to the 'sleep patterns' that have evolved as an outcome in the form of adaptive response to acquisitive risks. This perspective would assist in knowing that how such patterns have evolved and led to its present stage. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
