b. natural abilities that cannot be changed
c. highly mutable personal characteristics
d. none of the above

please select the best answer from the choices provided.

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

To determine the best answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Heredity is not the “single - most important” influence on skill - related fitness, as factors like environment and practice also play major roles.
• Option B: Heredity refers to the passing of traits from parents to offspring, and many of these inherited (natural) abilities are relatively fixed and not easily changed. This aligns with the concept of heredity.
• Option C: Heredity - related characteristics are not “highly mutable” (easily changed); they are inherited and generally stable.
• Option D: Since Option B is correct, “none of the above” is incorrect.

Answer:

B. natural abilities that cannot be changed
