    C. availability.

    Explanation:

    The availability bias and misinterpretation is the result of increased frequency and omnipresence of information that does not reflect its importance or correctness.

    Here, Jill is clouded by how much car deaths are propagated in the media, so she fails to realize the correct answer, despite the fact that stomach cancer could seem rational in her mind.
