Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: D) The hindsight bias is the tendency to believe falsely, after the outcome is known, that one would have accurately predicted it. The hindsight bias reduces our ability to learn from the past. It lets us think we are better predictors than we are and can make us falsely confident.

TRUE
