Aaron and Maria, a dating couple, buy a car. Maria slams the car against a lamppost, and Aaron asks her not to drive the car without his permission. However, Aaron hits another car while driving and explains that it is due to stress at work. In the context of social dilemmas, Aaron's behavior most likely exemplifies in this scenario.

OPTIONS:

A. the Prisoner's Dilemma

B. the Tragedy of the Commons

C. the fundamental attribution error

D. the false-consensus effect

C. the fundamental attribution error

Explanation:

The fundamental attribution error is a phenomenon that occurs when we attribute or judge one's behavior based on their personality, while failing to take into consideration the effect external factors can play in people's behavior, whereas when we exhibit or display such same attitude, we tend to attribute such behavior as being caused by external factors rather than internal factors or our personality.

Just as stated in the question above, Aaron seem to judge his hitting of the car as being caused by situational factors such as stress at work, while failing to also possible see Maria's incidence of slamming the car against a lamppost as being caused by external or situational factors rather than just her disposition or personality.

Aaron's behavior most likely exemplifies the fundamental attribution error  in this scenario.
