Which trait refers to sustained physical or moral stamina?

• A. Knowledge
• B. Endurance
• C. Courage
• D. Initiative

Answer: (B)

Endurance is the ability to sustain physical or moral effort over time, especially when fatigue, pain, or stress set in. It covers pushing through long or tough tasks without losing performance or letting fatigue break your resolve. In training and on the field, endurance shows up as continuing to drill, run, or carry out duties even when you’re tired, and as maintaining ethical and mission-focused discipline under pressure.

Knowledge is simply what you know; courage is facing danger or fear; initiative is starting tasks or taking action proactively. Endurance uniquely captures the staying power across both body and character, which is why it’s the best fit for sustained physical or moral stamina.
