Answer:

a. Little support exists for the idea that "opposites attract."

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientists discovered that the idea that opposites attract is a fallacy after realizing that there is attraction only among those who share the same values and concepts. In their research, they found that people who think similarly tend to attract, whereas people who don't tend to repel each other.
