The research on epigenetic processes carried out by Michael Meany found that:

A. the behavior of mother rats toward their offspring influences the development of the pups'

reactions to stress in adulthood.

B. the extent to which the mother rat grooms the pup in the first week of life is indirectly

related to the release of certain hormones in the pup.

C. pups that are licked and groomed more tend to grow into adult rats that are more fearful

and show less developed responses to stress.

D. the biological offspring of mothers who typically lick and groom less, when raised by

mothers who lick and groom more, have less effective stress responses.
