I believe the answer is: C. response set

Response set refers to tendencies among people to state an answer in most flattering or non-offensive way rather than telling an absolute truth about a situation.

Example of a response set would be when we explain to a disabled children why they would never be able to play sports.

<em>Rather than saying 'your leg cant be used properly, so you don't have to waste time playing sport'</em>

<em>We tend to say things like 'sport is not the most important things in the world, a lot of people have more fun in things such as music or Arts so may be you should try it out'</em>
