Answer
(C) leading questions
Spoiler
Explanation
Researchers (like Elizabeth Loftus) demonstrated that leading questions can cause us to incorporate false details into our memories of events. For example, a question like “How fast was the car going when it went through the red light?” might cause a person to incorporate a red light into the memory even if a red light wasn’t actually present.
