Answer 1

The correct answer is: Environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In psychology, the Trait Theory is used by psychologists to understand and analyse the characteristic features of human personality,
• Personality traits can be defined as the characteristics or features which are expressed by different individuals.
• The personality traits are usually different for different persons and so they are unique for a particular person.
• These traits are influenced by both hereditary and environmental factors.
• The hereditary influence is derived from the parents and the environmental influence is derived when the individual adapts himself to survive in the environment he is exposed to.
