A). More intelligent, happier, and better adjusted than other people.

Explanation:

As per the question, Harrison would be perceived as 'more intelligent, happier, and better adjusted than other people' since he possesses a handsome personality. The key factor of this perception is a 'stereotype' is that the people who are handsome or beautiful are also 'intelligent and happy.' However, logically physical attractiveness and intelligence are not equitable. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
