Answer: (c)

Solution:

  • Inherited traits: are present in the person since the time of his birth and are passed on from one generation to another
  • Acquired traits: A person develops during his lifetime. Acquired traits develop in response to the environment.
  • Colour of eye, colour of skin and nature of hair cannot be developed during our lifetime. So these are considered as inherited.
  • The size of the body is an acquired trait because it can be changed on the availability of less or more food.

Therefore, option (c) is correct.
