Confirmation bias "is caused by other people's ideas and opinions about a subject". (Answer D).
It is a common problem and occurs when a person seeks out evidence to support their preconceived opinions or views on a particular topic. This causes the 'bias' in the term 'confirmation bias' as the person is seeking to reinforce their preexisting view, rather than accept a more probable outcome. A classic example would be climate change skeptics seeking out source material that is anti-climate change in spite of overwhelming international consensus over the core aspects of climate change from the global scientific community. A person who seeks out and depends for their opinion on a very small component of the available evidence and chooses to ignore the mainstream literature is someone who has succumbed to confirmation bias.

You’ve probably noticed over the years that car design has become more streamlined. In other words, most consumer vehicles don’t look very boxy anymore. Some of this is due to aesthetics, but much of it is meant to decrease a vehicle’s drag coefficient. A cube has a high drag coefficient, whereas a teardrop has a low one.
By decreasing the drag coefficient, car makers are helping vehicles “slip” through air more easily. That reduces the amount of fuel needed to move the vehicle, and the difference shows up in your wallet and in the environment.
