Which of the following is true regarding parent-offspring conflict?
A) Weaning is an example of parent-offspring conflict because offspring can rely on the fact that they are more closely related to each other than they are to their mother.
B) A mother is equally related to each of her offspring; in contrast, an offspring is at most 25% related to its siblings but is 100% related to itself.
C) A mother is motivated to wean her current infant so she can begin investment in her next infant, but the infant will resist its mother's attempts at weaning because it is not in its genetic best interest.
