The correct answer is **B. Availability bias**.
Availability bias refers to the tendency to rely on immediate examples that come to mind when evaluating a particular topic, concept, method, or decision. Vivid and direct experiences are often more memorable and easily recalled, thus they tend to influence judgments and decisions more heavily than less accessible information.
