Answer:

The correct answer is C. Self-serving bias.

Explanation:

The self-serving bias can be understood as a tendency that individuals has to attribute positive outcomes to internal factors such as personal abilities, personality, intelligence, etc. However negative outcomes are attributed to external factors.

For instance, a person experiecing self-serving bias is playing a football match. They score a goal and then gets expelled.

When asked about the goal the person says that is because the've been practicing for almost a year and had already master the art of the goal.

When asked about the red card they say that it's because the referee had no idea about football and that he wasn't supposed to be expelled.

In this particular case Penny attributes her getting an acting job to her good acting. When she doesnt get the next acting job she blames the casting director for not wanting to hire a woman.

This is an example of a self-serving bias.

tangare [24]

Answer:visibility, traction, speed, distance

Explanation: Visibility is reduced when there are heavy rains or any other extreme weather conditions which means the driver will be unable to see clearly while driving on the road.

Which means they may not see what crosses in front of them or may not even be able to predict or see what's the other driver intends to do leading to collisions.

It may hinder their ability to react in time.

They have to slow down to the point where they even go below the actual average driving speed because the road becomes slippery which may mean the car may roll over if its heavy rains or they may even be things flying to the road.

They have to keep a double safe following distance , double than of the normal following distance since extreme weather conditions introduces so many different risks such as not be able to see a standing car on the road or the the crossing animals.
