Prejudice is a negative attitude toward a group and its members, often based on stereotypes.
-
It involves thoughts and feelings (usually unjustified) about others, without necessarily any direct experience.
Other options:

Stereotypes are generalized beliefs, not attitudes.
-
Emotion refers to feelings like anger, sadness — prejudice is broader and includes cognitive components.
-
Behavior would refer to discrimination (acting on prejudice), not prejudice itself.
