Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
High agreeableness is associated with being cooperative, empathetic and preferring social harmony over conflict. People high in agreeableness tend to be good at regulating their own emotions, as well as those of others, which helps maintain social harmony. They are not necessarily more likely to have high levels of neuroticism or be in poor health, as these traits are not correlated with agreeableness. Being poor at regulating emotions is also not a characteristic of high agreeableness.
