Answer: c) fundamental attribution error

Explanation:

Also named "correspondence bias", this kind of bias reflects a disposition to attribute certain attitudes of a person to their personality or to their perceived personality, by the person who observes, instead of them attributing their attitude in given situations to certain facts or circumstances.

This is an error, because the person who observes has certain biases or subconscious fears/beliefs that they seek to confirm by external circumstances rather than an objective evaluation of facts.
