Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The class teacher is making a situational attribution, which means that they are trying to explain Talya's behavior by considering the situation or external factors influencing her behavior, such as her upbringing and parent's behavior. This is in contrast to dispositional attribution, which would involve assuming that Talya's behavior is due to her innate personality traits.
