CIndividualizing
DMonotyping
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Stereotyping. Stereotyping refers to the tendency to judge an individual based on their association with a particular group, rather than recognizing their individual differences and unique characteristics. This can pose significant challenges to effective communication, as it prevents individuals from truly understanding and relating to one another on a personal level. The other options are incorrect because: - Stereo graphing is not a term related to this concept. - Individualizing is the opposite of stereotyping, as it involves recognizing individual differences. - Monotyping is not a commonly used term in this context.
