Answer: selective attention

Explanation:

Spurious relationship occurs when the variables are associated but aren't casually related.

Spurious correlations are often perceived because we unconsciously use selective attention to reinforce our pre-conceived beliefs or stereotypes. Selective attention in this case simply means that we focus on a particular object for a certain period of time in an environment and this can bring about spurious correlation.
