The correct answer is extraversion and neuroticism.

According to personality psychologists, McCrae and Costa, from the five universal personality traits (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism), extraversion and neuroticism are two traits or factors that are most heritable or appear to have a genetic basis. Extraversion refers to qualities such as enjoying the company of others over solitude, being outgoing and sociable. Neuroticism on the other hand refers to tendencies towards low or depressed moods, moodiness, irritability and other emotional and psychological issues.
