BThe blood group inherited from one's parents
CThe natural ability to roll one's tongue
DThe muscles developed by years of bodybuilding
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The muscles developed by years of bodybuilding
Acquired traits (muscles from bodybuilding, vocal range from singing, calligraphic hand) develop during one's lifetime and are NOT passed to offspring. Only genetic traits (eye colour, blood group, tongue-rolling ability) are inherited.
