The correct answer is option D. "In all instances, adopted children show higher IQ similarities than related children".

Explanation:

Adoption studies are a classic tool to study how behavioral genetics work. These studies are useful to show how a trait is passed because adopted children share a similar environment but are genetically unrelated. The intelligence quotient (IQ) has been used to measure human intelligence. Adoption studies show that IQ has a strong genetic influence, therefore is not true that in all instances adopted children show higher IQ similarities than related children.
