Solution

The correct option is C Riding a cycle
Characters or trait are transferable from parents to their son or daughter. Some of them are ability to touch the wrist with the thumb, moving ear without holding them, rolling of tongue by lifting from side, etc. But there are characters that are not transferable from parent to their child, such as riding bike or cycle, knowledge, playing sports, etc.
