Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Selective perception refers to the process where an individual interprets information and selectively focuses on what they perceive as important or relevant, while discarding insignificant or threatening information. This perception allows individuals to customize their perception according to their needs, biases or attitudes, which may not necessarily reflect the truth. Stereotyping is based on preconceived notions or generalizations about a particular group, Streamlining relates to the process of making something more efficient and Projection is when individuals attribute emotions or characteristics onto others.
