Answer:

C. The rebuttal tendency

Step-by-step explanation:

Rebuttal tendency: In psychology, the term "rebuttal tendency" is described as an individual's tendency to debate a specific speaker's point and then formulating his or her reply while the speaker is speaking in continuation. This phenomenon doesn't actually involves listening yet it ought to look for something to "pounce on".

In the question above, the correct answer is the rebuttal tendency.
