Explanation: D) Stereotyping is a schema for viewing a particular group. It does not necessarily invoke negative perceptions, as would be the case for prejudice. An example is thinking that people from a particular region are not ambitious. The other examples are descriptions of behavior or rules or of a prejudicial attitude (If hes one of those people).
