D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Personality may be a major factor only in the acquisition of conversational skills (i.e., oral communicative ability), not in the acquisition of literacy skills (i.e., reading and writing skills). It is the relatively permanent incorporation of incorrect linguistic forms into a person’s second language competence.

Detailed explanation-2: -Motivation, attitude, age, intelligence, aptitude, cognitive style, and personality are considered as factors that greatly influence someone in the process of his or her second language acquisition.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to new research personality affects the way a person speaks. Personalities that are introvert tend to use language that is precise whereas extroverts have a tendency to be vague. [1] Various studies have acknowledged the link between personality and language on a number of different levels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Since Studies have shown that extroverts (or unreserved and outgoing people) acquire a second language better than introverts (or shy people), it seems also important for second language learners to develop personality. That is to say, try to be extrovert while study a second language.

Detailed explanation-5: -Physical factors like, visual or hearing impairment, psychological factors like attitude, motivation, and environmental factors like classroom atmosphere and even the personality of the teacher influence the student’s learning. (9) Similarly, gender is one such factor that affects the student’s learning style.
