I found this one easy to get because it seemed to me like Author B was being degrading of evolutionary psychology by facetiously anthropomorphizing the genes themselves, almost as if the genes within a single person or amongst entities with shared genes were secretly conspiring to have their genetic material proliferated further without the conscious knowledge of the humans or animals they "inhabited," if that makes sense.
I thought it was quite clear Author B was speaking directly about the genes conspiring, not the evolutionary psychologists conspiring to explain this certain theory.
Kevin touched on this in the explanation video, but D is like a better version of A. I initially (and wrongly) made the jump that A implied D. I assumed that by explaining what evolutionary psychology is, answer choice A was already getting at, "evolutionary psychology can be explained by the proliferation of genes." In reality, answer choice A doesn't say anything about the flawed reasoning.
How can we pinpoint the connection that "conspiracy theory" is about the individual genes from passage A #help
