Answer: B) Closure

Explanation: Closure which is also refered to as need for closure; can be simply defined as the tendency to find a straight forward answer to a problem rather than one with multiple interpretations. It is the tendency to fill in the feel gap where information is missing i.e find answer to the missing information in other words, assuming what is not known at the present is consistent with that which is already known.
