Solution

Answer

The answer is c) a characteristic that discredits a person because he or she is seen as abnormal or undesirable

Explanation

Option 1: an individual who is incapable of taking on the perspectives of another person

This option describes a lack of empathy or perspective-taking ability, which is not the definition of stigma.

Option 2: communication that occurs in the context of marginalized or overlooked populations

This option refers to a type of communication context, not the definition of stigma.

Option 3: a characteristic that discredits a person because he or she is seen as abnormal or undesirable

This option correctly defines stigma. Stigma involves a characteristic or attribute that leads to a person being discredited or perceived negatively by others.

Option 4: a pattern of interaction in which one person perpetually criticizes or condemns others because of characteristics that are out of their immediate control

This option describes a behavior pattern of criticism or condemnation, which is not the definition of stigma.
