Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Social constructionists believe that homosexuality is not caused by genetic or biological factors, but rather it is a label that affects how individuals live their lives. They argue that society creates categories and labels for individuals based on their sexual orientation and that these labels can have a significant impact on individual experiences and interactions. Social constructionists do not believe that competent scientists have identified a definitive cause for homosexuality, and they also do not believe that the social environment alone causes homosexuality.
