The correct answer is d.

Explanation:

The American psychologist Daryl Bem is responsible for the development of the theory of self-perception. According to this professional, human beings study their behavior to discover what leads them to act in a certain way. Self-perception supposes the observation of our being; emotions, desires, feelings, etc., and of our context, that is, to identify our behaviors, attitudes and the circumstances of our environment, in a way that allows us to form an accurate but not exact opinion of ourselves, that is, the Self-perception allows persons to learn from their actions and modify their personality based on that learning. Self-perception influences how a person interprets, in a subjective way, certain aspects of his personality that come into play in the relationships he establishes with others.
