    Correct Answer
    A. personality
    Explanation
    Personality refers to the complex combination of mental characteristics that distinguishes an individual from others. It encompasses traits, behaviors, and patterns of thinking that are unique to each person. While heredity can play a role in shaping certain aspects of personality, it is not the sole determinant. Emotional tone, on the other hand, refers to the overall emotional state or disposition of an individual and is not synonymous with personality. Therefore, the correct answer is personality.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    As individuals age, they tend to select environments that align with their personality traits. This means that they are more likely to choose situations and settings that are compatible with their preferences and values, leading to increased stability in their personality. Additionally, the absence of major life events can contribute to stability as significant changes or disruptions are less likely to occur. Lastly, the stability of a person's social and physical environments, such as stable relationships and consistent living conditions, can also contribute to the stability of their personality. Therefore, all of these factors can explain the increasing stability of personality with age.
