Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Diffusion of responsibility is not a decision point in helping behavior, but rather a phenomenon that occurs when individuals fail to help because they assume that someone else will take responsibility for the situation. The other choices - noticing, defining an emergency, and taking responsibility - are all decision points in helping behavior.
