Answer 1

A. your belief remains intact even in the face of evidence to the contrary

Step-by-step explanation:

On average, people will perceive new information by fitting it to the current perspective that they already hold, not the other way around.

Belief perseverance occurs when the new information contradict the perspective that they've held for a long time. So, rather than acknowledging that they're wrong this whole time, people will start to held on to that belief even stronger and told themselves that the contradicting evidence is a lie.
