D Correct answer
Explanation

Einstein's brain was actually slightly smaller than the average male brain (about 1,230 grams vs 1,400 grams average). However, it had unique features in certain areas related to mathematical and spatial reasoning. This shows that intelligence correlates more with neural organization and connectivity than absolute brain size.
