    Answer:b. whether Marisa knew she was being observed during the behaviour

    Explanation:

    Dispositional Attribution focuses on attributing one's behavior to their personality or internal characteristics rather than situational factors.

    This leads to fundemental attribution error, when we say John didn't finish his work because he is lazy without considering external other aspects that may hindered him, this is dispositional attribution leading to fundemental attribution error.

    correspondent inference theory state that for this to happen the following has to take place:

    1) Choice: when someone freely choose to behave a particular way this is said to be driven by dispositional factors.

    3) Accidental vs. Intentional Behavior: Behavior that is driven by intentions is believed to be due to someone's personality and those that are due to accidents are believed to be driven by external factors.

    3) Social Desirability: Behaviours that is non conforming is attributed to dispositional factors because if it is low in social desirability.

    4) expectations also plays a role in correspondence theory.
