B) communication apprehension

D) selective perception
E) information overload

Answer 1

Answer: Selective Perception

Step-by-step explanation:

Selective perception occurs when an individual aims to only perceive what he/she wants to or feel its right by selecting and categorizing stimuli according his or her preferences and therefore ignoring any other other perceptions or views.

Here, the interviewer focused her attention and belief on her expectations of a female job applicant regardless of what the applicant feels or believes in which shows an example of a SELECTIVE PERCEPTION.
