D, confirmation bias

Explanation:

Confirmation bias is a form of cognitive bias that is defined as the tendency to interpret ,search, recall an information that confirms one's previous personal belief.

For example, if you suspect that a friend of yours is a thief after some things went missing a few times after he left you place and then someone else tells you he is also suspecting that same friend of being a thief, your confidence bias immediately connects both situations and then you believe your friend is a thief.
