Answer:
one player's optimal action choice taking the other player's action as given
Explanation:
The best response is a strategy from the game theory. This strategy holds that a player could select a strategy that favors him most given the strategies of other players. This is in reference to John Nash's Nash Equilibrium that explains that a player could reach that point(equilibrium) where he selects the best response or one of them that works best considering other players' strategies.

Answer:
Diffusion of responsibility
Explanation:
Diffusion of responsibility is a phenomenon where a person is less likely to take responsibility for action when they are in the presence of a large group of people. This happens because the individual assumes that others are either responsible for taking action or have already done so.
Since they are part of a big group of people, people will tend to assume that someone else will probably help or, if nobody is helping, that the situation is not that serious. Thus, they don't feel pressured to respond.
In this example, Roger was screaming for help as he was being beaten up. There were about 15 people standing nearby but none of them came forward to help. We can assume that, <u>since they were part of a large group, each one of them assumed that the others were going to help Roger or maybe that the situation wasn't that serious</u>. Thus, this lack of help illustrates diffusion of responsibility.
Answer:
You could explain this using the B. Mean world syndrome.
Explanation:
The Mean world syndrome is an <em>error in thought</em> in which an individual thinks <em>the world is a much more dangerous place than it actually</em> is because he/she has been long exposed to mass media.
In this case, we can see Martha watches <em>"quite a bit"</em> of television and mostly crime dramas. This long exposure has made her develop this syndrome and thus she believes that her city has a higher crime rate than it does.
