Final answer:

Dispositional attributes are personality traits or characteristics inherent to an individual, and the options that represent them are 'A. Jesse is lazy' and 'B. Joanna is intelligent'.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dispositional attribute refers to the explanation of individual behavior as a result of internal characteristics or personality traits rather than external circumstances. In the provided options, the statements that would represent a dispositional attribute are those that describe a person's inherent qualities rather than situational factors. Therefore, the following would be considered dispositional attributes:

  • A. Jesse is lazy.
  • B. Joanna is intelligent.

These statements attribute behavior to the personality traits of the individuals rather than external circumstances. Option C (Jasmine was stuck in traffic) and option D (Jordan's mom is ill) describe external situations affecting the individuals' behavior and would not be considered dispositional attributes.
