Answer:

a. self-serving bias.

Explanation:

Self-serving bias occurs when people attribute positive circumstances to their own nature and individuality, but hold external factors responsible for their own failures. In this manner, when Susan achieves good marks, she acknowledges her personal traits and effort. However, when she get a bad grade, she blames her teacher and does not admit her own mistakes.
