Solution

The question is asking to fill in the blanks in the statement about Thomas Sowell's research on racial differences in IQ scores. The correct answer is:

C. biology; a cultural environment

Thomas Sowell, a renowned sociologist, has conducted extensive research on racial and ethnic differences in IQ scores. According to his research, these differences do not result from biology, but rather from a cultural environment. This means that the variations in IQ scores among different racial and ethnic groups are not due to inherent biological differences, but are influenced by the cultural environments in which individuals are raised and live.
