a. self-serving bias
b. fundamental attribution error
c. overattribution
d. all of these

The correct answer is c. Overattribution.

Explanation:

The over attribution error, also known as over attribution bias, or correspondence bias, is the tendency that individuals have to attribute a particular person's behavior to a causal factor that's more available to them at the moment. It is one type of fundamental attribution error.

A common example of over attribution is for example when a person is very athletic, good at sports, runs fasts, and someone would say that the person has all of those abilities because he/she is from a certain race.

In this particular case, the person is assuming that Ling behaves so conscientiously because she is Asian. That's an over-attribution error.
