The correct response is Traits are relatively consistent across a variety of settings.

Explanation:

Trait approach is an important perspective in psychology and it concentrates on how to identify specific personality types. Traits are stable characteristic and there are usually a cluster of different personality traits in close association that manifest in how a subject responds to problems and how a subject respond to particular situations. Gordon Allbort was among the pioneers of this view and he saw traits as the building blocks of a person's personality. For example, Allbort defined cardinal traits, which are the traits a person uses to organize and plan their whole life.
