Answer:

b. hindsight

Explanation:

Hindsight bias: In psychology, the term hindsight bias demonstrates the propensity of a person to over evaluate his or her ability to predict a specific outcome that is considered as difficult to be predicted. It makes a person to believe that an event is easy to predict even they are not in reality. Memory distortion can occur because of hindsight bias.

Example: A man predicted that it is going to rain today but it didn't rain and then he claims that I knew the opposite is going to happen.

In the question above, the given statement may be an example of hindsight bias.
