What is the major factor in language development?

genetics
environment
intelligence
nutrition

The correct answer is: environment

Language development is primarily influenced by one's environment rather than genetics, intelligence, or nutrition. While genetics do play a role in language development, it is much less influential than one's environment. Studies have shown that children who are raised in language-rich environments have better language skills compared to children who are not exposed to language. Intelligence and nutrition may have some impact on language development, but they are not the major factor. Therefore, the correct answer is B environment.
