A) the future roommate, because self-descriptions have been found to be the best predictors of behaviour
B) his or her current close acquaintances, because research has found that people are not always objective about their own behaviour
C) other people in your dorm who do not know but can observe the new roommate's behaviour, because they will be the most objective
D) no one, because research has found that such descriptions usually cannot predict future behaviour
