B) Illusory correlation
C) Confirmation bias

The correct answer is B) Illusory correlation.
Illusory correlation refers to the perception of a relationship between two variables when no such relationship exists or when it’s weaker than perceived. This concept describes skepticism about assuming one thing directly causes another without sufficient evidence. It’s important to critically evaluate claims about relationships to avoid misconceptions.
