B. Income

C. Nationality

D. Diet

A

Examiners report

A more challenging question, most candidates selected the correct answer A. However, a large proportion were distracted by D. Diet would have an impact on their potential, however this would not be used solely to determine talent identification. G2 form comments suggest the use of the term ancestry could be misleading and challenging and this has been taken on board and will be reviewed for future sessions.
