Answer 1

Answer: This situation is an example of:4) information overload.

Explanation:

Information overload refers to the fact of receiving too much information all at once in such that it exceeds your ability to process it. When there is too much information to process at once and it is already beyond the person's processing capacity it is very likely that the decision made at that moment will be poor or its quality will be impaired.
