    The correct answer would be A, Randall has an unconscious assumption that attractive people are more competent.

    Explanation:

    First of all we need to know clearly about the social perception. Social perception is actually how a person perceives other person on the basis of physical appearance, verbal and non verbal communication. When a person make inferences about others on the basis of above mentioned criteria, he is basically indulging in social perception. Now in this example, social perception is that Good looking people are better at work. This is something which is at the back of every person's mind. So Randall also had an unconscious assumption about attractive people that they are more competent than the less attractive people.
