The properties acquired as a consequence of how you were treated during childhood are known as what?

• A. Nature
• B. Nurture
• C. Innate traits
• D. Heredity

Answer: (B)

Nurture refers to the environmental influences and experiences that shape who you are, including how you’re treated in childhood. The properties described are learned or developed through interactions, conditioning, and socialization, not something you’re born with. In contrast, nature covers genetic inheritance, innate predispositions, and heredity is about passing genes from parents to offspring. So nurture is the best answer here because it captures how upbringing and environment mold your behaviors, attitudes, and abilities.
