Answer:

In the context of prejudice, this scenario exemplifies A. an illusory correlation.

Explanation:

An illusory correlation is a phenomenon in which variables (events, conducts, people) are believed to have a relationship even though it does not exists.

A correlation refers to the <em>connection between 2 things</em> and it is illusory because it is<em> nonexistent. </em>

This scenario exemplifies an illusory correlation because the police officers arrested Jeremiah for being close to the crime scene with a soiled baseball bat, creating the correlation between these variables.

​ira has a problem where he tends to speak without thinking, and this has caused him to lose friend and to damage relationships
rosijanka [135]

When Ira wears a rubber band that fit loosely around his wrist, and that he uses to "snap" himself with it just hard enough to sting a little bit, he is using <em>aversion therapy</em>. This type of therapy expose the patient to a stimulus  while at the same time, being subjected to some form of discomfort. This is done so that the patient begins to associate the discomfort with his/her own behavior, in order to decrease or completely interrupt such act. In the case of Ira, what aversion therapy would look for, is that Ira would start associating the discomfort of snapping the rubber band against his skin with talking without thinking. And by doing so, he would stop to talk without thinking.
