Once we believe something, we tend to pay special attention to those experiences and situations that are consistent with our beliefs, and disregard those that are inconsistent with our beliefs. This is called: B. Cognitive conservatism.
Explanation:
Cognitive Conservatism is defined as the tendency to seek and express interest to information that conforms to an existing self-concept. In simple words, cognitive conservatism is conforming to idea that matches our own ideas and opinions.
We always pay attention to the event or situation which we are more interested about. In similar way, we never care about the situation that is inconsistent with our belief. We concentrate on something only when we believe it.
