C. Scientists agree that both genetics and environment are important in developing self-esteem.

Explanation:

Self-esteem can be defined as the level of confidence and self-respect possessed by an individual in himself or herself, as well as the believe that he or she is both worthy and valuable.

Generally, self-esteem can be measured as either to be low or high; an individual that feels depressed, pessimistic, needy, insecure has a low self-esteem while an individual that is optimistic, confident, has self-respect, happier has a high self-esteem.

Also, the level of confidence and self-respect an individual has in himself is greatly influenced by two (2) factors: genetics and environment.

Hence, the true statement about genetics and environment is that scientists agree that both genetics and environment are important in developing self-esteem.

This ultimately implies that, an offspring having parents with low self-esteem is likely to inherit that trait and become low in self-esteem during their adult life. The environmental factors that affect an individual's self-esteem are schools, friends, media, family etc.
