Answer 1

the answer is A) focusing on one thing so much that you become oblivious to something right in front of you.
explanation: one of the most common examples of in-attentional blindness is being distracted by your phone while driving which results in a car crash. you are so focused on your phone that you fail to perceive a car right in front of you resulting in a crash. this is purely a result of lack of attention rather than vision defects or deficits.
