c. Social learning

Explanation:

In psychology, social learning refers to the process of learning by observing others and imitating them. According to this theory, we have models that we learned behaviors from and the way they behave and think has an influence on us and our own behavior and thinking.

In this example, Laura's family is deeply religious and she has grown up listening disparaging remarks about Jewish people, thus, Laura has developed similar negative feelings towards them. We can see that she has likely learned this behavior from the family she grew with and they don't have positive feelings about Judaism. Thus, her attitude is likely formed through social learning.
