Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Research has shown that first-borns tend to have higher levels of academic achievement and intellectual success. This may be due to factors such as more individualized attention from parents, being held to higher expectations, and having a more structured home environment. Social interest and a superiority complex are not necessarily indicative of high intellectual achievement. Second-borns could also achieve high levels of intellectual success, but the question only provides two options.
