Answer:

The answer is c) halo effect.

Explanation:

The halo effect refers to the tendency to judge a person based on a positive first impression. In the example, Marisol decided to trust her co-worker, influenced by her personal appearance.

A related and constrasting phenomenon is the horn effect, in which a person is negatively influenced by an initial bad impression. This bias can lead to prejudice and even discrimination.
