Solution

The answer is B. Cardinal Traits. These are the traits that dominate an individual's whole life, often to the point that the person becomes known specifically for these traits. People with such personalities often become so known for these traits that their names are often synonymous with these qualities. Cardinal traits are rare and tend to develop later in life.
