根据以下内容回答题：
The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discu-ssion among economists．It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited．To feed a large population，inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively．Thus，each person produces．1ess and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population．Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports，roads and railways，which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them．One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth val了from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials．In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food，space and natural resources，it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate．Whatever the consequences may be．In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more Com-plex．A decreasing birth rate may lead tp unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods．When the pressure of population on housing declines，prices also decline and the building industry is weakened．Faced with considerations such as these，the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population，rather than one which iS stable or in decline．

The example of the twins going to a uncertainty and a factory separately shows ______ _．
A．the importance of their intelligence
B．the importance of their positions
C．the role of environment on intelligence
D．the part that birth plays
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
