Why is phrenology considered a pseudoscience? A. It is based on empirical evidence. B. It requires hypothesis testing. C. It lacks quality experiments. D. It rejects unsupported claims.

C would be your right choice here

Answer is (C) It lacks quality experiments.

Phrenology is the study of the brain by looking at the size and the shape of cranium i. e., the skull. The study relies on empirical evidences that someone intelligent will have a bigger brain or will have a larger skull than a average person. These evidences however have no biological proof as they were not examined by conducting experiments. The study also rejected unsupported claims that a person with a smaller brain or skull size can be intelligent. Hence such a study or phrenology is considered a pseudoscience.
