Correct Answer: for


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation: In this context, the word aptitude is followed by the preposition for to correctly convey the idea of a natural inclination or skill in a particular area. The phrase aptitude for is idiomatic and commonly used in English to express an inherent ability or suitability for a specific domain.

So, the correct sentence would be: "He was born into a business family and has a natural aptitude for business."
