A person believes a rumour because many people are repeating it. Which bias is this?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Bandwagon bias

Bandwagon bias occurs when a person accepts a claim, opinion, or behaviour mainly because many other people appear to support or repeat it. Thus, option D is correct: repetition and popularity are being mistaken for evidence. Authority bias would involve believing a claim because an expert or powerful person says it. Confirmation bias would involve selecting information that supports an existing belief, which is not the stated reason here.
