Confirmation bias "is caused by other people's ideas and opinions about a subject". (Answer D).

It is a common problem and occurs when a person seeks out evidence to support their preconceived opinions or views on a particular topic. This causes the 'bias' in the term 'confirmation bias' as the person is seeking to reinforce their preexisting view, rather than accept a more probable outcome. A classic example would be climate change skeptics seeking out source material that is anti-climate change in spite of overwhelming international consensus over the core aspects of climate change from the global scientific community. A person who seeks out and depends for their opinion on a very small component of the available evidence and chooses to ignore the mainstream literature is someone who has succumbed to confirmation bias.

iris [78.8K]
The answer to this question is C.  The reason why this is an incorrect statement is that the Doppler effect takes into account two moving objects.  In this scenario, both the source and the listener are stationary to the frequency of the sound waves will not change due to the Doppler effect.  For the other answers, the frequency of sound waves is not affected by nature of the medium.  The distance between a sound source and listener does not alter the frequency of the sound wave.  The frequency of the sounds waves remains the same to the listener.
