This is important because of the simple fact that if you have the knowledge of which stressors can be control and which stressors can not be controlled you are more likely to avoid the ones that you may be able to controlled.
A is the answer. This is because this was not covered by the Twin studies.

It depends on the type of animal, but if, for example, you're talking about one lower on the energy pyramid (like a chicken, for example) then this is because of the energy distribution. When an animal consumes something else, it absorbs about 10 percent of the energy of that creature.
So, lets say a plant has 1000 units of energy. Then a bug comes along, and eats the plant, absorbing 100 units (10 percent) of that energy. Then, a chicken eats the bug, absorbing only 10 units of that energy. Finally, a human eats the chicken, getting only 1 unit of the original energy.
The reason that something like a bug has to eat less than a human, is because it gets more energy directly from the plant.
