Answer:

A. high; high

Step-by-step explanation:

Attribution is a theory that explains people's motivation to attach a cause to a behaviour. External attribution or situational attribution is a type of attribution that suggests individuals attribute the cause of an event to external factors such as the situation surrounding a given entity that brings about a certain response from that entity.

When distinctiveness is high, consensus is high and consistency is high, people tend to attribute the cause of a behavior to external factors-external attribution.
