The correct answer is A) stereotyping.
Omiana was recently passed up for promotion. She was told that management was looking for someone who was more aggressive to fill the position. Omiana's coworkers were surprised because she has a reputation for "getting things done." Omiana later overheard one of the managers saying that he did not believe she was committed to her career since "she, like most women, leave work every day at 5:00 sharp." It might appear that Omiana's employer has made a mistake regarding "stereotyping."
Stereotyping and prejudge are two concepts that distort reality and makes people commit mistakes when interpreting the conduct of other people. A stereotype is a fixed general image that people think represents a type of person or things. For instance, if some say that all politics are dishonest people, it is stereotyping politics. Or if someone says all the people that work in the CIA are spies, is doing the same.
