C) An employee is late because of a flat tire

Explanation:

An externally caused behavior is behaviour that we attribute to situational factors and not the individual (internal attribution). An externally caused behavior is imagined or perceived to not be in the persons control as opposed to internally caused behavior or attribution that believes a person's behaviour is the person's fault or within the person's control.
