Answer: c. Tyrone, but not Ming, will say he succeeded due to his high ability

Explanation:

People from Asia are not usually raised with self serving attitudes or biases, they are most likely to think of others more themselves .

Die to the culture there is is hard to be able to see you abilities as a thing that you can boast about .

It a continent where it is all about family and people around you more than it is about you and they are too reserved .

Tyrone on the other side is from a very liberated and opinionated individual who mostly are focused on self serving bias .

Americans are raised to believe in their strength and ability and to go further miles to explore what one can or can not do so it builds up that confident and some self centered attitude.
