The answer is D.

Explanation:

Confirmation bias occurs when someone searches for or tries to find research or data that matches up with their already existing beliefs to further strengthen their beliefs. That occurs in d. An example of this would be saying that you believe that bananas are purple before they ripen, and try and only find information about purple bananas to further strengthen your beliefs.
