    Answer: Option (d) is correct.

    EXplanation:

    The susceptibility to search for interpreted data in such a way that confirms the hypothesis is known as confirmation bias.

    Scientific consensus is the collective decision or opinion of scientists in an experiment or study.

    Peer view is the collective view of two or more persons in an experiment that will lead to a collective conclusion.

    Selection bias is the bias that occurs because of selection of data due to which proper results are not obtained.

    Therefore, when two scientists work together on an experiment but they have different hypothesis and when the scientist look at experimental results they interpret the data in different ways and come up with different conclusions, this situation is a confirmation bias.

    Thus, out of the given options, option (d) is correct.
