One of the specific ways in which individuals and environments interact is that different people choose different environments. One example of different people choosing different environments is the books individual reads and the presence of books at home.

An example of an environmental factor in reciprocal determinism is the presence of books in home; hence, option a. is correct.

The ability to read at fourth-grade level is not an example of an environmental factor in reciprocal determinism. Therefore, option c. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as “the fear of violent action on television”.

The fear of violent action on television is not an example of an environmental factor in reciprocal determinism. Therefore, option d. is incorrect.
