According to the fundamental attribution error, we tend to attribute other people's behavior to internal factors and tend to attribute our own behavior to external factors.​

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

We often come across numerable situations where we draw inferences with regards to the cause of our own behaviour or any other person’s behaviour and this process of drawing these inferences is called attribution.

As per fundamental attribution error people often attribute the behaviour of other people to their internal factors like their personality traits and ignore the effect of external factors. But when it comes to assessment of their own behaviour they attribute it to the external factors.
