Answer:

displacement

Step-by-step explanation:

Christine yelling at her kids due to her boss yelling at her is displacement because rather than taking out her frustrations on her boss, who is the reason as to why she was upset, she took her feelings out on her kids who have nothing to do with her being bothered.

hope this helps
