Answer:

B. A situational variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Self service bias is a tendency in which individuals attribute positive things and tendencies to themselves but often attribute negative things to situations.

In the light of the above definition siting a situational variable as the cause of coming late is a typical example of self servicing bias.
