Answer:

Defensive listening

Explanation:

The concept of defensive listening refers to the tendency we have to take an innocent comment from someone else as a personal attack to ourselves. Basically, it refers to take a general statement as a personal attack.

In this example, Thelma baked a cake and Louise said her mom would decorate the cake so elaborately. This is a <u>general statement about Thelma's memories of the cakes her mom would made</u>. However, T<u>helma takes this as a personal attack and responds in a defensive manner </u>saying sorry for not decorating the cake extravagantly. Thus, this would be an example of defensive listening.
