C Correct answer
Explanation

Personality development is a complex interplay between genetic factors (nature) and environmental influences (nurture). Genetic inheritance provides the biological blueprint and temperamental tendencies, while environmental factors including family, culture, education, and life experiences shape how these traits are expressed. Modern psychological research consistently supports the biopsychosocial model, recognizing that both factors contribute significantly to personality formation.
