Joshua Potter · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "D": Recency effect.

Explanation:

The Recency effect refers to a judgment individuals make over a certain object based on recent events that somehow prove how those objects could be. The Recency effect is characterized by having an initial judgment about that object that is replaced later on for another based on the experiences while interacting with the object.

Fundamental attribution error.

This error could make victims to be blamed and culprit praised. It can also lead to self justification, blaming others for their bad attitudes towards us and believe the the situation requires it when we display bad attitude to others.
