Answer: Option A

Explanation: Attributions are inferences people make from events or behaviours, it might be from someone attitude or an event. We have external and internal type of attribution.

From the above options, there are all attributions but situational attributions are attributions people make from situational events that may one way or the other affect them.

The best option from the options above is option A, Randy doesn't like dirty dishes and what he met in the kitchen was something he doesn't like and the cause of this event is the laziness of his daughter which he blames.
