Answer: C. escalation of commitment

Explanation:

Escalation of commitment bias refers to a situation where an entity continues to invest resources in an endevor that is not working out which means it is not contributing any value but is still being invested in.

The Town Council can see what has happened to the town and how their restaurants have suffered. The project has also stalled and yet they keep pushing it on. They are committed to an endevor that is not working out so this is an escalation of commitment bias.

What the single greatest factor in safety and health programs’ failure to completely keep us free of workplace accidents is, why
Lady_Fox [76]
The answer to this is probably something like the human factor or a human error. That is because no matter how great the conditions are, you can't prevent people from making a mistake eventually and this can include even simple things like falling down stairs. What you can do is make sure you get good employees, but even those banal injuries still count as a workplace accident and the worker needs to be paid and covered to mend it.
