The correct answer is D. An infant’s personality provides a solid basis for determining what their personality will be later.

This statement is not true regarding personality change and stability, because an infant's (age 0-3 years) personality is just emerging, and lacks stability. From birth to three years of age infants do not have a fixed or stable personality as such. Due to this it is false that an infant’s personality provides a solid basis for determining what their personality will be later.
