Answer:

The answer is letter D, hindsight bias.

Explanation:

A hindsight bias occurs when a person starts stating something that was contradictory to what he said earlier. This is also known as the "I-knew-it-all-along phenomenon." In this case, the person also states that he already knew what the outcome would be, even before it was predicted.  

So, in the situation above, Jama's mother is clearly demonstrating the hindsight bias. Her earlier opinion that <em>"people should receive greater punishment as children"</em> contradicted her approval of Jama's opinion that <em>"punishment can lead to unwanted results and have a lasting impact on someone."</em> By saying, <em>"I knew that!"</em> Jama's mother clearly overestimated her ability to predict the outcome.

Thus, this explains the answer, letter D.

How does the ocean influence climate?
Mazyrski [523]
<span>Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.</span>
