The correct answer is Virtues are acquired by practice.
Key Points

Aristotle claimed virtues are not innate.

  • To be virtuous one needs to govern non rational part of life, which means to develop virtues.
  • To Aristotle, virtue is an activity, not a state,  which needs to earn by practice and just actions.
  • One needs to acquire virtuous state by following golden mean.

Thus, the correct answer is Virtues are acquired by practice.
