Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
When we can easily recall our attitudes, they are more accessible in our memory and therefore more likely to guide our actions. This is known as the accessibility principle, which suggests that attitudes are more likely to affect behavior when they come to mind easily and are therefore more accessible.
