Solution
The correct option is C Surroundings
'Environment' means the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates.
"survival in an often hostile environment"
In this sentence, "Both a person's heredity and his environment help to shape his character", 'environment' means surroundings. Hence, option D is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
