A person accepts the majority opinion without checking evidence. What perspective error is this?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Conformity bias

Conformity bias occurs when a person treats an opinion as correct simply because most people accept it, without independently examining evidence. Therefore, option A is correct. Confirmation bias means preferring information that supports an existing belief, and authority bias means accepting a claim because an influential person presents it. The fundamental attribution error concerns explaining behaviour through personal traits while underestimating situational causes, so it is unrelated here.
