You didn't list the options to choose from but I found them elsewhere.

The answer is - couples in happy marriages make external attributions for negative behavior and internal attributions for positive behavior; while couples in unhappy marriages make internal attributions for negative behavior and external for positive. Happy couples blame outside forces for issues whereas unhappy couples blame each other.
