c. displacement.

Explanation:

You know that moment when someone says to you , you are taking out your frustrations to them without you being aware that you were actual doing it this is displacement.

Displacement is when we unconsciously defend ourselves through expressing our emotions (mostly anger) that occured in a different situation and express them in another by finding a less threatening target or more vulnerable target.

Usually this occurs because we are more threatened by the actual target and we can't take our emotions to them

Bonnie is angry at her supervisor but since she can't take her frustrations out to him , she rather unconsciously take it out to her children.
