Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A (personality): Refers to an individual's characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, not a proportion of genetic - related differences.
• Option B (heritability): By definition, heritability is the proportion of variation in a trait among individuals that is attributable to genetic differences. This matches the description in the question.
• Option C (trait): A trait is a characteristic or quality, not a proportion of differences related to genetics.
• Option D (temperament): Refers to a person's innate behavioral style and emotional responses, not a proportion of genetic - based differences.

Answer:

B. heritability
