Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Research has shown that "evening people" have lower body temperatures in the morning, which gradually rise throughout the day, while "morning people" have higher body temperatures in the morning that gradually decrease throughout the day. This difference in circadian rhythms can affect their energy levels and peak performance times. It is not true that "evening people" are just making excuses or that one's preference for mornings or evenings will remain the same throughout life.
