As a Gestalt psychologist, Mark is likely to consider that Jean's behavior is a result of her interpretation of his gesture. Gestalt psychology emphasizes the importance of perception and interpretation in understanding behavior, therefore, option E, "Jean must have interpreted my gesture differently than I intended," is the best choice.
