Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Schizophrenia has a complex etiology involving a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Even though identical twins share the same genes, individual differences, including unique experiences, stress levels, and interactions with their environment, can lead to different outcomes in terms of mental health. This explains why one twin might develop schizophrenia while the other does not.
