Andrea is routinely late for class because she always underestimates how long it will take her to drive to class. When it comes to arriving on time for class, Andrea is subject to: A. overconfidence. B. a framing bias. C. altruism. D. a sunk cost fallacy.

A.

Explanation:

Overconfidence, in psychology, can be defined as a confidence that is higher than an accurate confidence. People who are overconfident usually judge or estimate the situation higher than the accuracy of those judgments.

In the given case, Andrea who is routinely late for the class is overconfident in estimating the time of her driving from home to class. She always underestimate in analysing her time of driving. This is an example of overconfidence as she judges the situation higher than the accuracy of judgement.

So, the correct answer is option A.
