Answer:

A). Tam and Lai are experiencing different social contexts.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question, option A i.e. 'Tam and Lai are experiencing different social contexts' could best be employed to describe the notion of 'social context' which is reflected by their distinct social environments(highly competitive college versus less competitive college) which influences their perception and response to a particular stimulus. Therefore, we can deduce that since both Tam and Lai are encountering contradictory social environment and factors, their perception and the behavioral response would also vary. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
