Answer:

a. demonstrated confirmation bias.                                

Explanation:

Confirmation bias: In psychology, the term confirmation bias is also referred to as confirmatory bias. It is the propensity of an individual to interpret or understand a particular piece of information in a way that satisfies or confirms his or her preconceptions and this often leads to creating statistical errors.

In confirmation bias, a person may lead to holding false beliefs that have no real evidence.

elena55 [62]
The best answer is industrial: it makes sense for people to settle in industrial regions, as they can hope to find work there. Other options refer to the distribution of people, such when people are from many cultures (multicultural) but this was not something people in 19th century searched for most, instead they wanted good job opportunities.
