Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The person-situation controversy is concerned with whether people's behavior is consistent across different situations or whether it varies depending on the situation. Therefore, evidence that our traits persist over time and across different settings supports the view that our behavior is consistent and influenced more by personal traits than by situational factors.
