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.

In the French and Indian War list three reasons why each side decided to go to war in 1754
Serjik [45]
The French and Indian War was caused in 1754 over disputed claims by England and France to the Ohio River Valley. The French built forts there to protect their land. The British sent George Washington (who was 22 years old) to force the French to leave. Because of his poor handling of the situation, he is responsible for starting the war. In Albany, NY, Benjamin Franklin proposed a plan called the "Albany Plan of Union." However, it wasn't put in to action because the colonists thought their loss of power was too much.
