Answer 1

Answer: (C)

lead us to behave in unjust ways toward others

Bias is a prejudice in favor of or against a thing, person, or group compared with another usually in a way that’s considered to be unfair. Biases may be held by an individual, group, or institution and can have negative or positive consequences. Unconscious bias refers to a bias that we are unaware of, and which happens outside of our control. It is a bias that happens automatically and is triggered by our brain making quick judgments and assessments of people and situations, influenced by our background, cultural environment, and personal experiences. This might lead to behave in unjust ways towards other.
