The correct answer to the question is option C, which states that personality traits almost always remain stable throughout one's lifetime. This claim contradicts current meta-analytic findings, which indicate that personality traits can change and evolve throughout life. The other options are supported by evidence of changes and development in personality traits during adulthood.

Personality traits do change and evolve throughout life, particularly with a shift towards social maturity.
