The correct answer is

aptitude

The correct word to use is aptitude. Aptitude refers to a natural talent or skill. The sentence describes a natural ability in mathematics. "Ability for" is grammatically correct, but "aptitude" is a more precise and natural-sounding word choice in this context. "Attitude" refers to a way of thinking or feeling; "altitude" refers to height. Therefore, "aptitude" best replaces "ability" to create a clearer and more accurate sentence.
