1 point
\which individual, according to linkage analysis, is most likely to develop major depressive disorder?\
a \cindra, who has an older sister with major depressive disorder\
b \jennifer, who has a fraternal twin with major depressive disorder\
c \pablo, whose identical twin with major depressive disorder was raised in a different family\
d \marcus, who has a cousin with major depressive disorder\

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Linkage analysis in psychology (specifically in the study of mental disorders like major depressive disorder) looks at genetic connections. Identical twins share 100% of their genes. Even if raised apart, the strong genetic link (as in the case of identical twins) makes the likelihood of developing the disorder higher compared to other relationships (sister - 50% shared genes, fraternal twin - 50% like regular siblings, cousin - less shared genes).

Answer:

C. "Pablo, whose identical twin with major depressive disorder was raised in a different family"
