The correct answer is the fundamental attribution error.
Fundamental attribution error (FAE) refers to the phenomenon in which we attribute others' behavior to their disposition (personality) and their abilities, intelligence and skills (or their lack thereof), while attributing our own behavior to situational factors outside our control (bad weather, a harsh teacher, an unforeseen event, etc.). An instance of FAE is failing an exam. If we fail an exam we are much more likely to attribute it to situational factors (the exam was unfairly hard, the teacher graded it unfairly, etc.). On the other hand if another person fails an exam we are much more likely to attribute it to factors internal to him or her- he/ she did not study hard enough, he/she is not intelligent and is incompetent.

<h3>What is intellectual ability?</h3>
Intellectual ability is a socio-psychological term used to describe the capabilities needed to vastly think, perceive connections between conditions and problems in current or changing situations.

Thus, given that Claire is still in her second year in high school, which means she is probably 11 or 12 years. Therefore, the counselor is expected to say Claire's <em>intellectual abilities</em> will <u>increase</u> throughout adulthood.
