    The correct answer is - b) attitude.

    Explanation:

    Being a form of a psychological construct, attitude is a blend of emotional and intellectual characteristics that result in a certain state of mind of an individual towards an attitude object (such as, other people, places, events etc).

    Attitude is formed by previous experiences and leads towards certain thoughts, ideas and ultimately actions towards these objects.

    For example, because an individual's parent disapproved of Oscar Academy Awards and argued that it is a waste of money (experience), this individual now states a similar opinion (thought) when his friends discuss Oscar nominees and switches to a different channel (action) when news about Oscar is on TV.
