Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Epigenetics refers to the study of changes in gene expression, or the way in which genes are turned on or off, that are caused by environmental factors. This means that a trait can be influenced by both genes and the environment, making choice C the best answer. While genes may play a role in determining certain traits, such as eye color, environmental factors can also impact gene expression and therefore influence the expression of certain traits.
