Answer:a. the representativeness heuristic.

Explanation:

What is the representativeness heuristic?

This term was described by two psychologist Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman.

When we want to decide on something or judge it we will usually take a path that will get us there soon or these psychologist call this "rules of thumb " which is referred to as heuristic.

When we want to decide on something and there isn't enough information available to us to make comparisons as a result we use heuristic to decide immediately without wasting time.

This can be occasionally helpful but sometimes it can lead us to making inaccurate judgements or biased conclusions.

For example we can use our preexisting prototype to compare it with want we are trying to decide on at that moment .

Our prototype is that information that we believe is more associated with that particular situation or object or subject at that moment .

For example we see someone wearing a long white coat entering the hospital we are more likely to think they are a doctor evethough we may find that this person is a lab technician and he is getting into the hospital to deliver some blood sample results but because we use the information that already exist in our mind that what we will use to make judgements.

In the above text the man reads a lot and speaks Chinese we know professors read a lot and mostly specialize on langauges then our first judgement is this is a professor .
