C

Explanation:

Confirmation bias is the likelihood to find out, recount or agree with information that supports our beliefs and ideas.

A person with confirmation bias will tend to believe reports that supports his opinion rather than searching actual facts.

Hence, they will most likely search about information that supports their preconceptions, whether it is proven true or not.
