The word "forecasts" means to predict or anticipate something, which fits the context of the sentence. The other options, such as "dictates" or "limits," are too strong and suggest that a baby's temperament completely determines a person's personality, whereas there are many other factors that can influence personality development. "Contradicts" is also not a fitting option, as there is no inherent contradiction between a baby's temperament and an adult's personality.
