The answer is b) They combine fact and fiction

Step-by-step explanation:

This is also called confabulation. During hypnosis, individuals who are encouraged to experience alterations of perception, memory, or mood, therefore, they may report these distorted perceptions as real; using their own creativity to fill in the "missing spots" of their memory's unclear mental image.

Answer: b.They combine fact and fiction

Step-by-step explanation:

What are hypnotically refreshed memories ?

These are the memories that a person is able to recall when they are put in a hypnosis state by a therapist or an expert.

This allows the person to mentally go back to the state in which the memory occured so that they can recall what happened, it is sometimes used in some testimonies in court however it has been critized that due to what the therapist may suggest to the client or patient they may be misled to believing that a certain thing happened back then whilst retrieving these memories when it actually didn't happen but has been induced into their minds by the therapist's various suggestions.

Which is why these memories contain fact and fiction.
