To determine whether the traits of sitting and shaking hands in a dog are inherited, not inherited, not acquired, or innate, we need to understand the meanings of these terms in relation to animal behavior.

A. Inherited: If a trait is inherited, it means that it is passed down from one generation to the next through genetic material. Inherited traits are determined by an animal's genetic makeup.

B. Not inherited: If a trait is not inherited, it means that it is not determined by an animal's genetic makeup and is therefore not passed down from one generation to the next.

C. Not acquired: If a trait is not acquired, it means that it is not learned or gained through experience or training. It is not something that an animal develops through its interactions with the environment or other animals.

D. Innate: If a trait is innate, it means that it is present in an animal from birth and is part of its natural behavior. Innate traits are often instinctual and do not require prior experience or training.

In the case of a dog being trained to sit and shake hands, these traits are not inherited because they are not determined by the dog's genetic makeup. Dogs do not naturally know how to perform these behaviors without prior training or conditioning. Therefore, the traits of sitting and shaking hands are not innate. However, these traits are acquired through training, meaning they are learned behaviors that the dog acquires through experience and practice.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. not acquired.
