Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The statement "With time, feral children are able to develop into 'full humans'" is not supported by the text. In fact, the opposite is suggested - that the effects of social isolation on young children can be permanent and irreversible, leading to developmental delays or even death. Examples of feral children, such as Genie and Anna, illustrate the critical role that social interaction plays in human development, and highlight the potential consequences of extreme social isolation.
