Chris Anderson · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Benjamin Whorf's theory of linguistic relativity (also known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis) proposes that the structure of a language can influence the way its speakers perceive and think about the world. It suggests that language determines our thinking, as different languages may have different vocabularies, grammars, and structures that affect how individuals conceptualize and reason about various topics. However, the theory does not suggest that language determines emotions, motivation, or intuitions.
