Correct Answer: A person who is similar in behaviour or actions to his/her parents


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The underlined idiom a chip off the old block refers to a person, typically a child or descendant, who strongly resembles one of their parents or grandparents in terms of personality, abilities, or behaviour. It implies that the individual has inherited similar traits from a family member, which is quite similar to what is given in the second option .
