D) is the correct answer.

The original difference between the Sunnis and the Shias was they disagreed on who should have succeeded Muhammad .

About 15% of Muslims belong to Shiism. They are in favor of which the caliphs (responsible of the government) must be descendants of the prophet Muhammad and that the correct successory line is the one drawn up by Ali, cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad.

On the other hand the Sunnies are the main branch of Islam and, although they coincide in the majority of the religious aspects with the Shiites, they do not agree with the premise on the line of succession of the Caliphs. Generally the countries belonging to Sunism have governments elected according to criteria specific to each particular population.

Answer:

Confirmation bias is the tendency for people with strong prior beliefs, when confronted with a choice, to make their decisions based on assumptions they’ve already made.

Explanation:

Confirmation bias is a tendency in human behavior to unknowingly be selectively aware of information that confirms our own perceptions. Confirmation bias is a type of cognitive bias.

If you have a negative self-image, you tend to get stuck on criticism and not hear praise. Scientific researchers, too, tend to be selectively aware of research results that are consistent with their own theory and unconsciously ignore those that contradict it. A confirmation bias risks leading to a superstition on personal opinions, while rebuttal and alternative sources are ignored. This can lead to disastrously wrong decisions, especially in scientific, political and military contexts.
