Answer:

This best illustrates the process of discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrimination is a term used in Psychology in which the individual is able to distinguish between different stimulus, even if they are relatively similar.

In this case, Miguel is carrying out the process of discrimination since he does not generalize his fear to all dogs but only to the one who bit him. He is able to distinguish between all the dogs (stimulus).
