Answer
A
Traits appear to be inconsistent across time.

Certain traits show consistency in predicting certain behaviors.
C
Certain personality traits are displayed across cultures.
D
Personality traits are influenced by heredity.

Explanation

Research generally finds that personality traits show some consistency over time, can predict certain behaviors, appear across cultures, and are partly influenced by heredity.
