Answer:
The correct answer is:
Hostile.
Angie is on the subway when she notices that the woman in the opposite seat is looking at her. Angie immediately think the other woman wants to have a fight and says, "what are you looking at?" The woman responds by saying she was admiring Angie's earrings, and Angie feels embarrassed. Angie is demonstrating the hostile attribution bias in the way she interpreted the other woman's gaze.
Step-by-step explanation:
The hostile attribution bias is the tendency of an individual to belief that any act or intention coming from any human being has a hostile determination, even if the intention itself is good. In this case, even when the woman was simply looking at Angie's beautiful earrings and admiring, Angie was feeling ready to fight and asked the question in a rude way.
