Explanation:
Overconfidence effect is a kind of bias whereby individual's subjective confidence in their own abilities is greater than the objective or actual performance accuracy of those abilities. During surveys, respondents usually have this kind of bias. An example is the one stated in the question whereby average people tend to fill that they are "above average" on certain features like intelligence and perceptiveness.

Answer:
The alignment of numbers in the first part of the question is off. However, you solve this question as shown below. The correct answer is C. $1,124.
Explanation:
This is a one-time cashflow type of question where the principal amount is invested once and no other addition is made to the account. You use the future value formula to solve the result of the compounding effect at year 3.
FV formula;
FV = PV(1+r)^n
PV = 800
discount rate; r = 12% or 0.12
total duration of investment; n = 3
therefore; FV = 800(1+0.12)^3
FV = 800 * 1.404928
FV = 1123.94
To the nearest whole dollar, the amount will grow to $1,124
