Cristina Canales · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Prejudice refers to a negative attitude towards a group or its members that is not based on reason or experience. This can lead to discriminatory behavior towards members of that group. Hindsight bias refers to the tendency to believe, after an event has occurred, that one would have predicted or expected the outcome (not related to attitudes towards a group). Ingroup bias refers to the tendency to favor one's own group over others (not necessarily negative towards other groups). Discrimination refers to negative behavior or treatment towards a group.
