Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Human beings have a tendency to selectively collect or remember information, or to interpret it skewed in order to confirm their own beliefs. Cherry-picking of evidence basically consists of choosing the part of the data that gives you the reason, to confirm a certain position, ignoring that evidence that may be different or contrary to the proposition that is being defended. Sasha used this fallacy to confirm her position about being a nice person.
