Answer: A. a heuristic

Explanation: Heuristics can be explained as a quick, flexible method employed in problem-solving. Heuristics usually employs a method which could be termed self-discovery as it is a way of getting an answer or solving a problem usually from currently available mental fact within a short time. Results or conclusions made from heuristic approach are not guaranteed to be optimal or perfect but could be enough to provide a verdict required for the short term. Heuristic could be verdicts or conclusions based on intuition, prediction or logical reasoning.

In the scenario above, Bruno attempts to make conclusion using the available mental information available at that current time to make a quick decision which ended up to be incorrect.

The correct answer is A) The space shuttle program has come to an end.

The author thinks that the time may now be right to focus on ocean research because the space shuttle program has come to an end.

The main argument for the author to support ocean exploration is that he considered that the space shuttle program of NASA had already ended in 2011. Too much money -billions of dollars- had been invested in the space program, and now it was time to enter the unknown territories of the oceans.

The author is probably right. We do not much about oceans and what could be under the sea. That is a real mystery. We have explored enough about the space, according to our possibilities and limitations, but practically the ocean is unknown. So ocean exploration would be a real challenge.
