Michelle is participating in a research study. She has put on a set of Grado headphones and is listening to a stream of white noise. The experimenter has explained that every so often she will hear a quiet "click" in the noise and that she should press a button whenever she hears it. Michelle has a very conservative response bias and, as described in lecture, signal detection theory predicts that Michelle's response bias will cause her to have _______________ than more respondents who are more sensitive to the signal.
a. is likely to have more missesb. is likely to have more correct rejections.c. is likely to have fewer hits.d. is likely to have more false alarms.

The individuals generally responses to the sudden noises and like to listen the noise that are pleasant to their ear. They develops a type of learning or memory against that noise.

Michelle has put on the headphones and listen white noise. She always click the button on listening the noise. She is more likely to develop the more false alarm that activates when she listen to that noise. She has developed a kind of response against the white noise.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
