Respuesta :

The correct answer is option c. an illusory correlation.

Illusory correlation occurs when two variables (events, actions, thoughts, etc.) appear to be connected even when they aren't.

There are two types of illusory correlations: expectancy-based and distinctiveness-based. The former happens when we misinterpret relationships because of our prior assumptions about them. The latter occurs when a relationship between two variables is assumed to exist as a result of placing an excessive amount of emphasis on information that stands out.

Both of these illusory correlations can be attributed to the "heuristics" or mental shortcuts that exist in our brains. Since evaluating evidence requires time and effort, our brain searches for such shortcuts to speed up the procedure.
