Answer: stability

Explanation: In simple words, The probability that the origin of the attribution would change over a duration of time is called attribution. For instance, if a person decides to get such a big promotion, they might equate it to a lack of skill.

This suggests uncertainty, as the person must improve their skills and obtain an education in order to ultimately influence the outcome. It is not a sustainable situation, but one that can be modified by behavioral change.

Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is D.
