Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Kelley's covariation model of attributions states that consensus, distinctiveness, and consistency are the factors that determine how people attribute causes to behavior. Consensus refers to the extent to which others behave in the same way in a given situation. Since everyone in the neighborhood prefers the Italian restaurant, there is high consensus. Therefore, the correct answer is B) high in consensus.
