• A. Attitude
• B. Behavior
• C. Mood
• D. Opinion

Answer: (A)

Attitude is the term for the way you think or feel about someone or something. It’s your overall evaluation that blends what you believe about the object with how you feel about it, and this combination tends to guide how you respond or behave toward it. For example, you might have a positive attitude toward a coworker because you think they are competent and you feel friendly toward them, which makes you more inclined to help them. Mood is just a temporary emotional state not tied to a specific target, behavior is about what you actually do, and opinion is a belief or judgment about something that may or may not include the accompanying feelings that attitudes involve.
