Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The buyer’s age, life-cycle stage, occupation, economic situation, lifestyle, personality, and self-concept are all factors that influence an individual’s buying decisions.

These are considered Personal characteristics because they are specific to the individual and directly shape their preferences, needs, and choices in the marketplace.

Psychological characteristics refer more to motivation, perception, learning, beliefs, and attitudes.

Behavioral characteristics relate to patterns of product usage and purchasing behavior.

Demographical characteristics generally cover broader population factors such as age, gender, income, education, and family size, but in marketing, when the focus is on the personal impact of these traits on buying decisions, they are categorized under Personal characteristics.
