d) the social-cognitive perspective

Explanation:

The social-cognitive theory defines that human beings learn most of their behavior by observing others in their surroundings rather than by trial and error method. A child grows observing his or her parents since childhood, and most of them carry similar characteristics.

The social-cognitive perspective on personality emphasizes the cognitive processes, for instance, thinking, analyzing, interpreting and judging, in the development of personality. These cognitive processes are central to one's personality. Learners can simply observe a model to acquire new behavior and knowledge.
