Answer 1

The correct answer to the following question will be Option D (Fundamental attribution error).

Step-by-step explanation:

A common method of prejudice throughout cognitive psychology seems to be the fundamental attribution mistake or error.

• Fundamentally, it includes putting a greater emphasis on administrative traits of appearance to clarify the actions, someone, in a particular circumstance, instead of always worrying about actual physical subjective.
• Humans appear to over-emphasize qualitative even persona-based interpretations of actions found in others often under-emphasizing situational interpretations.

Therefore, the given statement illustrates the above error.
