This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
As part of a study in auditory perception, a group of students was made to listen to a low-volume music track. When they first put on their headphones, they almost couldn’t hear anything. But as they became more attentive, the sound gradually became clearer. This is an example of _________.
a. retinal disparity
b. pitch increase
c. sensitization
d. subliminal stimulation
Answer:
This is an example of C. sensitization.
Explanation:
According to the given scenario, the sound was not altered. Its volume, its pitch - everything remained the same. There was, however, an alteration in people's perception of the sound, and that is due to a process known as sensitization. Sensitization happens when a certain stimulus becomes more effective because of repetition or continuation. That is, because people kept on listening to the sound, even though it was low, they were able to hear it after a while.
A financial dealing where dealers shout their bids out loud

Answer:
People tend to make systematic and predictable mistakes in their thinking. These mistakes are called biases.
Explanation:
Humans are not perfect decision makers. Everyday humans make numerous decisions and try their best to be rational. But many times, our cognitive limitations prevent us from doing so. In systematic and predictable ways, we do drift away from perfection. Even if we take each step properly to make a decision by first defining the problem, then thinking of alternatives for the solution and then take a decision, one is bound to get affected by cognitive thinking. Such mistakes that humans make are called biases. They affect the judgement of even a very talented human being.
