Explanation:

Part A

To support the claim "Your Childhood IQ Does Not Limit You", we need evidence that shows IQ or intellectual ability can change. Option B says recent brain studies show the brain is malleable (changeable) over time, which implies that childhood IQ isn't a fixed limit. Option A is about the nature - nurture debate, not about IQ not being a limit. Option C is about a common self - limiting thought, not evidence. Option D is an anecdote about Einstein, but it's not as direct as the brain malleability evidence.

We need evidence that supports the claim from Part A (childhood IQ doesn't limit you, meaning intelligence can develop). Option A says "It grows and develops and matures...", which shows that intelligence (or the brain/ability) can develop, supporting the claim. Option B is about reaching potential, not about development over time. Option C is about a fixed level of intelligence, which would go against the claim. Option D is an anecdote, not a general statement about development.

Answer:

B. Recent brain studies indicate that the brain is malleable over time.
