Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Affective component is the feeling a person has towards a situation that result from his/her belief about a person or situation.

For instance: a person who works hard and believes hard work earns promotion may feel anger or frustration when he or she works but is not promoted and will be affected in this situation.

This reflects Fatima feeling towards her manager when her colleague who deserved less promotion than she did was promoted, she was affected when this happened which is why she doesn't like her manager.
