The correct answer is people will seek out supporting evidence for their beliefs.

The confirmation bias refers to a type of cognitive bias in which individuals tend to seek out, accept and favor information that confirms and corroborates their pre-existing notions and beliefs, while disregarding opposing information or perspectives. An example of confirmation bias is when a person believes that Republicans are better than Democratics and due to this belief, only pays attention to and accepts information that supports this belief.
