Ans. option A halo effect  

The halo effect works both in both positive and negative directions (the horns effect): If the observer likes one aspect of something, they will have a positive predisposition toward everything about it. If the observer dislikes one aspect of something, they will have a negative predisposition toward everything about it.

(a)

  Lawrence has succumbed to Halo error, which is a common tendency to rate subordinates high or low on all performance measures based on one of their characteristics where as in rater prejudice managers allow their personal biases to distort the rating they give to their subordinates. In shifting standards, managers rate each subordinate by different standards and expectations. In different rater patterns, managers differ in their rating styles. Some may rate harshly, others may rate easily. Whereas stereotyping is the process of categorizing or labeling people on the basis of a single attribute rating a person based on the characteristics of the group to which he or the she belongs.
