The correct answer is 'a'. What I am thinking is that 'personality' refers to characteristic of a person, such as being timid, shy, rude etc. 'Quality ' refers to a person's feature, such as being honest, hard working, kind etc. If a person's reaction to something was to speak straight instead of hiding something that's personality. If a person reacted to something bad by ignoring it that's qulity. Am I right?

Personality is a combination of characteristic s. Those include shyness, rudeness, honesty, industriousness, and kindness (among other things). If somebody reacts to something bad by ignoring it that could be an indication of guilt, but I would have to have more information before I could decide that.
