    A. the representativeness heuristic.

    Explanation:

    Representativeness heuristic refers to judgements made with a probability of an event, but under uncertainty. Meaning that judgments are made fast, it's like a shortcut, which has high probabilities to succeed or fail. So, in this example, Frank is taking decision with not much information, which allows him to act faster, but with a higher risk, based on one positive event.
