Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is - D. fundamental attribution error.

Explanation:

Fundamental attribution error (FAE) happens when an individual (Lee) has a tendency to explain someone's behavior (Kara’s) as a result of this person’s internal factors, instead of considering external factors experienced by this person.

Here, Lee is explaining Karas’s behavior with an internal factor of her feelings about him ('she likes to bully him'), ignoring the external factor of Kara’s getting an F in her exam.
