Respuesta :

Answer: The correct option is D

Displacement of responsibility.

Explanation: Displacement of responsibility is a psychological phenomenon which explains that people blame others for their unethical behaviors,ill manners and shortcomings..

When an individual refuses to own up to his/her actions but blames others for it,those actions are said to be displaced.

For example,a senior Nurse blaming a student Nurse for not monitoring a badly written shift duty report knowing fully that it is the sole responsibility of the senior Nurse to write shift duty report and make sure it's in order.
