Respuesta :

The correct answer is A. News reporters are nosy

Explanation:

A stereotype refers to biased beliefs, ideas or similar that are created without real evidence or knowledge about a person or group of people and usually based on features such as race, ethnicity, gender, work, preferences, among others. Additionally, in stereotypes, it is common the use generalization as individuals assume one feature of one particular individual can be applied to all similar individuals.
