According to attribution theory, internal attributions are made when there is low consensus (other employees do not arrive late), low distinctiveness (the employee is consistently late), and high consistency (the employee consistently arrives late on different occasions). Choice B includes all these factors, whereas the other options do not include distinctiveness or include irrelevant factors such as extinction.
