A sentence with two blanks. Given below each question are five pairs of words. Choose the pair that best completes the sentence.
Every human being, after the first few days of his life, is a product of two factors: on the one hand, there is his __________ endowment; and on the other hand, there is the effect of environment, including _____
- constitutional; weather
- congenital; education
- personal; climate
- economic; learning
- genetic; pedagogy
There is a clear-cut contrast in the sentence which is clear from the presence of the phrases 'on the one hand' and 'on the other hand'.

The correct word is filled in the above given sentence :-
Every human being, after the first few days of his life, is a product of two factors: on the one hand, there is his congenital endowment; and on the other hand, there is the effect of environment, including education
