Answer: b. They have a flaw that will ultimately lead to their undoing.

The most common characteristic of tragic heroes is the fact that, although excellent in every other way, they have a tragic flaw that will eventually lead to their undoing. This is also known by the term hamartia. Some common examples are Othello's jealousy or Hamlet's indecisiveness.
