Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Andrew feels that he has been treated unfairly compared to his co-workers who are also chronically late to work. This is an issue of outcome fairness, which is related to the perceived fairness of the outcome or consequence of a decision. Andrew perceives that the consequences of his lateness (i.e. being fired) are more severe than what is proportionate to the situation, thus leading to a perception of unfairness. The other answer choices are not directly relevant to this scenario.
