Answer:

Context.

Step-by-step explanation:

The options for this question are missing. The options are:

context

personal characteristics

special duties

Context refers to the circumstances in which an event takes place and that have an influence in the way we react to them. It is not the same to react when we are in a slow paced environment than when we have to take quick decisions under pressure.

In this example, when someone is confronted with an emergency they require to take rapid decisions and actions, and they might not employ the same level of caution that someone in other circumstances would do. Therefore, they are in a different context and they don't have time to think enough or deliberate enough. That is why, when there are cases of negligence, it is important to take into consideration the context in which the situation took place.
