Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The correct answer is C) viral theory. The observation that a disproportionately large number of individuals with schizophrenia are born during the winter months supports the viral theory. This theory suggests that exposure to viruses during prenatal development, particularly in the winter when viral infections are more common, may increase the risk of developing schizophrenia later in life.
