Answer:

b. sampling extreme cases leads to false generalizations.

c. events often seem more probable in hindsight

d. of the placebo effect.

e. random sequences often don't look random.

The reason why this does not necessarily indicate that low self-esteem triggers negative emotions is that correlation does not equal causation.
