    You would most likely think A. That stranger is a rude person.

    Explanation:

    The fundamental attribution error centers on thinking that an individual's actions are based on who that person is, more than the social factors surrounding them.

    In this case, the stranger goes to the front of the line waiting to talk to the manager. Since he/she is a stranger, one does not truly know his/her motives which can be influenced by social factors.

    Instead, by applying the fundamental attribution error, one would assume that this person is rude because he/she cut the line when the others want to speak to the manager as well.
