Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Temperament refers to people's natural tendencies towards certain behavioral and emotional patterns, such as being active or inactive, outgoing or reserved. It is not related to gender roles (A) or current moods (C), and while it does influence how people process information, it is not synonymous with perceptual organization (B).
