Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Hindsight bias is the psychological phenomenon where, after an event has occurred, people believe that the outcome was predictable or inevitable, even if they had no basis for predicting it beforehand. This bias can lead to an oversimplification of cause and effect and a misunderstanding of how events unfold.
