The correct answer is option a. "Culture is biologically and genetically transmitted from person to person".

Explanation:

Culture is defined as the behavior, customs, social forms, arts and other manifestations of human achievement that characterize a place or group of people. Culture is transmitted through different channels in a process known as enculturation. The channels of enculturation are related with people's immigration and embracing the customs of society. Culture is NOT biologically and genetically transmitted from person to person, because culture is not the result of action of molecules or chemicals, but people acting towards and identity.
