Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify the type of perception barrier that Carla likely experienced when meeting Tomás at a networking event. Carla initially thought Tomás was unfriendly because he didn't smile, but later learned that Tomás was nervous in a new environment. The question requires understanding different perception barriers such as stereotyping, selective perception, self-serving bias, and fundamental attribution error to determine the most appropriate one in this scenario.

The answer is D) Fundamental attribution error
More Information
Fundamental attribution error occurs when someone overemphasizes internal factors (like personality) to explain someone else's behavior, rather than considering external circumstances. Carla assumed Tomás was unfriendly (internal factor) instead of considering he might be nervous (external circumstance).
Tips
It's important to understand the definitions of each type of bias to answer correctly. Stereotyping involves making assumptions based on group membership. Selective perception is focusing on certain information while ignoring others. Self-serving bias is taking credit for successes while blaming external factors for failures.
