An accident for Aristotle is that which is:
{ 1 } - predicable of a subject.
{ 2 } - unchangeable in a primary substance.
{ 3 } - the defining class of a subject.
{ 4 } - the genus of a primary substance.
{ 5 } - present in a subject.

"Predicable" means able to be said about, and the name or definition of an accident cannot literally be said about a substance. For example, "Harry is tall" does not mean that the characteristic of tallness is literally identified with Harry but only that it is present in him.

Secondary substance is unchangeable in a primary substance, for example, "rational" in "Harry is rational."

That would be secondary substance, for example "human" in "Harry is human."

{ 2 } - unchangeable in a primary substance.
{ 3 } - the defining class of a subject.
{ 4 } - the genus of a primary substance.
{ 5 } - present in a subject.
The genus of a primary substance is a secondary substance, one of the defining classes of a primary substance, for example "animal" in "Harry is an animal."

5 is correct!
An accident for Aristotle is that which is:
{ 1 } - predicable of a subject.
{ 2 } - unchangeable in a primary substance.
{ 3 } - the defining class of a subject.
{ 4 } - the genus of a primary substance.
{ 5 } - present in a subject.
For example, Harry, a primary substance, subject, or individual, exists in himself, while tallness, an accident, exists in or is present in him.
