Explanation:

The Minnesota Twin Study actually found that identical twins (who share 100% of their genes) are more similar in personality than fraternal twins (who share about 50% of their genes). This supports the idea that heredity plays a role in personality (as in option D). The "Jim twins" (option A) were an example from the study showing similarities in separated - at - birth identical twins. The study did compare fraternal and identical twins (option B). But option C is incorrect as it states the opposite of what the study found.

C. The Minnesota Twin Study found that identical twins were less similar in personality than fraternal twins.
