d. the confirmation bias.
e. the representativeness heuristic.

Answer 1

Trial and error.

Step-by-step explanation:

This approach of Thomas Edison where in testing of thousand of different material for light bulb filament are used to find the most suitable material is called trial and error approach of problem solving.

Trial and error pursue a method, seeing if it performs, and not trying a new mechanism. This mechanism will be repeated until a solution or success is attained. Assume moving a large object like a couch into your house for example.
