Answer 1

d. Alexia attributes her friend's pitiable performance in the music concert to the poor sound system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Situational attribution occurs when a person attributed the outcome of their own action to an external factors (anything beside themselves)

This can be seen in Alexia's action.

Rather than considering the possibilities that her friend lacks practices or not having a proper mindset, she attributed her friend's failure to the poor sound system (external factors)
