Which item best serves as a category heading for a collection of biases?

• A. Finishing a boring show, staying in an unhappy relationship, staying in a bad class, continuing a failing project
• B. Sunk cost
• C. Loss aversion
• D. Examples of biases

Answer: (D)

The main idea is choosing a label that properly groups items that illustrate multiple biases. When you have a collection that shows various biases, the heading should signal that those items are instances or illustrations of biases, not a description of one specific bias. “Examples of biases” does exactly that: it tells you these are representative instances across different biases, rather than defining a single bias or listing unrelated actions. The other options don’t fit as a category label: one is just a list of scenarios, not a heading; the other two name specific biases, which would imply the list centers on that one bias rather than a variety. So the best heading is “Examples of biases,” because it accurately describes the content as illustrative of multiple biases.
