Discussion

Explanation:

"To the extent that researchers in this area have failed to entertain (and, consequently, to control for) such an alternative, therefore, they may run the risk of misattributing—or at least, overattributing—the observed similarity between parents and children to a social influence, when a non-social influence is also operative."
Options A and D can be directly inferred from the last paragraph of the passage.
Option C: This can be inferred from the underlined portion of the last lines of the passage. Thus A, C, and D can be inferred from the passage and are not the correct answer.
Option B: Since the author expressed their disapproval of over attribution of one influence over another, this option contradicts the position of the author.
Thus, the correct option is B.
