Which choice most logically completes the text?
A) some studies of extraverted individuals found greater stress-related performance declines than were typical for studies of introverted individuals.

C) differences in stress-related performance outcomes cannot be determined solely on the basis of personality classification.
D) testing environments have a greater influence on cognitive performance than do individual personality traits.
