Answer 1

This example shows possible problems with D. Misattribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Attribution refers to the process by which an individual infers or comes to conclusions about causes of conduct, events, etc.

A misattribution, refers to a misconception in the relation of events. It is an erroneous idea of attributing something to something else which is not related at all.

In this case, Steve misattributed that Samantha was flattered by his unwavering attention when, in reality, she did not find flattering at all.
