    B : perceptual distortion

    Explanation:

    Perceptual Distortion is an unusual response to stimuli, based on abnormal interpretation. Its happens due to cognitive bias, personal preference bias & belief set. Such misinterpretations are biased, they are formed irrespective of authenticity of information in hand.

    Its extremely crucial to validate a medical proposition based on only scientific medical research by the specialists. However, Robbie claims - that an approach to cancer cure surely works. She does so not grounded on medical organisation certification to the approach, but based on a blog testimony she read. Such unusually conclusive interpretation made by her is due to her innate support towards the approach. So, it reflects perceptual distortion.
