Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C: can be frustrating and impair thinking.

Explanation:

The first thing to know is that in the paradox of choice believes that having too many choices is not necessarily a good thing. With paradox of choice, more is actually less.

Frustration and impairment of thinking are not positives. They are fallouts of having too much choices. The paradox of choice according to Barry Schwartz says that in western, developed societies a large amount of choice is usually associated with welfare and freedom. Too much choice on though, actually creates the feeling of less happiness and satisfaction and can even lead to paralysis.

Paralysis here is the impairment of thinking which is as a result of having too many choices.
