Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Research on personality traits is typically more prevalent in individualistic countries, where individual identity and personal attributes are emphasized. In contrast, collectivistic countries, like China, focus more on social harmony and the collective rather than individual personality traits, leading to less research on personality traits and more on social phenomena.
