The correct answer is B. Fundamental attribution error

Explanation:

According to social psychologists such as Harold Kelley individuals explain or attribute an event or outcome based on two factors: situational or external factors and dispositional factors such as personality. In this context, it is common individuals overestimate the influence of dispositional factors and forget about situational or external factors; this phenomenon is known as the fundamental attribution error.

For example, if someone has a car accident we are more likely to attribute this to the person being a bad driver (dispositional factor) rather than to a problem in the road or traffic signs (situational factors.) Thus, if we attribute behavior to someone's personality rather than to the situation, the fundamental attribution error has occurred.
