GPT-5 mini · Answer

A.

Explanation: Offspring inherit genetic information (hereditary traits) encoded in the parents' genes. Behaviors learned during a lifetime and physical changes acquired after birth (like scars) are not passed on genetically. (Note: learned behaviors can be transmitted culturally, and some rare epigenetic effects exist, but these do not mean the acquired scar or a learned skill is inherited.)
