Answer:

The correct answer is "Stereotype"

Step-by-step explanation:

The noun stereotype means a preconceived idea about a particular group of people. Stereotypes are associated with preconceptions about religion, race, culture, and they can be positive or negative. For example, a common stereotype about women is that they are more romantic and affectionate.
