    Alicia's barrier to rational reasoning in this instance of hindsightbias (a)

    Explanation:

    The Hindsight bias is also referred to as knew-it-all-along phenomenon or creeping determinism.

    Hindsight bias refers to the mental ability or the psychological ability of people or a person to predict or overestimate an outcome that could not be predicted otherwise

    Like in the above question Alicia is overconfident about her opinion about having a granddaughter (she is predicting an outcome)
