All of the options listed are examples of phenotypes, as they refer to observable characteristics or traits of an individual. However, if you're looking for the option that might be less commonly considered a phenotype in certain contexts, it would be **d. gender**.

While gender can be influenced by genetic and biological factors, it is also a complex interplay of social and cultural elements, which may make it less straightforwardly classified purely as a biological phenotype compared to traits like skin color, eye color, and hair texture. Nonetheless, it is still often included in discussions of phenotypic traits.
