The correct answer is D. Self-serving bias.
Self-serving bias is a cognitive bias that causes people to attribute their successes to internal factors (such as their own ability or effort) and their failures to external factors (such as bad luck or the actions of others). In the case of getting fired from a job, someone who exhibits self-serving bias would be more likely to attribute their firing to their boss’s dislike of them than to their own performance.
A. Self-promotion is a tendency to exaggerate one’s own abilities and accomplishments.
B. Fundamental attribution error is the tendency to attribute other people’s behavior to internal factors (such as their personality or character) while attributing our own behavior to external factors (such as the situation or the actions of others).
C. Over-attribution is the tendency to attribute our own successes to internal factors while attributing our failures to external factors.
