We usually make quick assessments of others by focusing on a subset of traits and behaviors.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

First impression happens in a minute not takes a day, week or a year. It did not change even after a longer period. In a minute, people predicted the other's compatibility accurately. Halo effects occur when one or more features have a profound effect on overall perception.

When people see features that they like or dislike, they usually do simple reviews with their thumbs up or down. For example, one person can attract blue eyes, and another can tattoos. So, it completely indicates that making a fast assessment on others by complete focus on the subsets of trait and the behavioural action instead of summing up as a whole person.
