Answer 1

Answer: Option (B) is correct

Explanation:

Hindsight bias that is also known as creeping determinism, it is referred to as common tendency for individuals to perceive situation which have already taken place as being more predictable before the situation even takes place. This results in individual believing that after an situation has taken place, that they might've predicted, or maybe even perhaps would have certainly known what the results of such situation would have been even before it took place.
