Answer:

availability heuristic

Step-by-step explanation:

Bonita mistakenly believes that there are more words that begin with the letter "k" than there are with the letter "k" in the third position due to the availability heuristic. Availability heuristics is a mental bias whereby an individual relies on immediate examples that comes to mind evaluating a specific topic, concept, method or decision.

Bonita's conclusion is most likely due to availability heuristics because she may have taken that decision based on examples of letter k that comes t mind easily rather than do a serious study or analysis to come to that conclusion.
