Answer:

B. Accommodation

Step-by-step explanation:

Accommodation can be defined as the process in which a person decided to change or re structure his or her already existing or known schema due to a new experience, a new event , or a new information instead of the person to modify the existing schema thereby making the new information or event to fit into the already existing schema, the person change the schema in order to accommodate the new information.

In order words ACCOMODATION can said to means to re modify something that we are use to in order for new information to fit in well and better.

Therefore according to the scenario, the process is called ACCOMODATION.
