Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an individual believes that all dogs are aggressive based on experience with one aggressive dog,

his attitude towards dogs is generalized.

Generalized attitude is applied on any class of that group, it becomes a general idea.

His experience with one aggressive dog is applying to all dogs, so his attitude becomes generalized.

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
