[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

The correct answer is B - Interference. Justin's new telephone number, 663-7589, is similar to the first three digits of his Social Security Number, 633. This similarity causes interference in his memory, as he frequently tells people the incorrect number, 633-7589. Interference occurs when the recall or recognition of information is hindered by the presence of competing or similar information.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The answer to this question is interference. Interference occurs when information or memories interfere with each other, resulting in errors or mistakes. In this case, Justin's social security number, which starts with the digits 633, is interfering with his memory and causing him to repeatedly provide a phone number that starts with the same digits.
