Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Traits that are transmitted from the parents to the next generation.

The traits which are transferred by the parent to its offspring through the process of fertilization are called inherited traits. These traits are inherited before birth in the womb itself. For example, in humans- eye colour, hair colour, skin colour, freckles, dimples, etc.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
