The correct option is A Ability to speak a foreign language.
An acquired character is one that is acquired or developed after the birth. An individual is able to acquire them according to their environment and need. Examples of acquired characters are the ability to speak a language, riding a bike, swimming, etc. On the other hand, innate characters are those that are present at birth such as eye colour or colour blindness.
