Jurors in criminal trials often fail to fully discount coerced confessions. In what sense can the fundamental attribution error explain this tendency?
 
  a. People often overlook the situational factors that lead others to commit criminal acts.
  b. We tend to think that no situational influences could be strong enough to lead someone to confess to somethingthey did not do.
 c. Jurors usually think that false confessions result from certain personality characteristics, such as passivity orlack of education.
 d. Few people think that they themselves would ever admit to a crime they did not commit.
