The observation that IQ variations between African Americans and whites in the United States is due to socioeconomic and not genetic factors is based on differences in the scores of other minorities and whites in the United States.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

It has been recorded that the African Americans score a less as compared to the whites in the United States of America. Their level of IQ is comparatively lesser in the African Americans or other minority groups in the United States as compared to the Whites.

Still now no one could say that the reason for this gap in the level of the IQ between these two communities is genetic. But there have been differences recorded in the level of IQ.
