Answer:
D. stereotype threat
Explanation:
A stereotype threat defined by Steele and Aronson “refers to being at risk of conforming, as self-characteristic, a negative stereotype about one’s social group”. In other words, it’s the type of situation in which you feel threatened or at risk about someone to make a judgement out of stereotypes. In this case, we could read that Jeff is a “fun-loving, intelligent, responsible teenager” and that he is scared that people might judge him “badly” only because of his hair color. People with different types of colors are mostly misjudged as “vandals”.
