Solution

The correct option is D Length of hair
The length of the hair depends on individual to individual, this will not alter the DNA of the germ cells. Hence, the length of hair is not a trait that can be inherited. Also, the changes in non-reproductive tissues cannot be transferred; hence, the experiences of an individual during its lifetime cannot be passed on to the progeny. Therefore, (c) is the correct answer.
