D: Scapegoating

Explanation:

In traditional English, a scapegoat is used to describe a person who the blame of something can be shifted to. In this case, since the softball team lost this match, two of the team members are using Alice as their scapegoat, to shift the blame from the entire team to just one person.

This can be dangerous, because while some of the girls might think it's a joke, or might not think it's too important, it could severely impact Alice's mood.
