The correct answer is b. unreliable generalization about all members of a group that does not recognize individual differences within the group.

Explanation:

The stereotype is the way (the series of thoughts and predictions) in which a person or a group of people is perceived as a result of their characteristics, that is, it is that immutable idea or notion that one social group has over another, which behaviors, qualities, abilities or distinctive features are generally attributed to it.
