To acquire a better understanding of the structure and development of the human personality, some psychologists study the personalities of animals.

Stimulus: to acquire better understanding of human personality psychologists study the personalities of animals.

Each of the following, if true, contributes to an explanation of the practice mentioned above EXCEPT:


(A) The actions of humans and animals are believed to be motivated by similar instincts, but these instincts are easier to discern in animals.

(B) The law forbids certain experiments on humans but permits them on animals.

(C) It is generally less expensive to perform experiments on animals than it is to perform them on humans.

(D) Proper understanding of human personality is thought to provide a model for better understanding the personality of animals. IMO D

(E) Field observations of the behavior of young animals often inspire insightful hypotheses about human personality development.

All the other options support the claim that the animal models can be used for understanding the human behavior except D
