The correct answer is:**C. cognitive dissonance.**### Explanation:Cognitive dissonance occurs when a person experiences psychological discomfort due to holding two conflicting beliefs, attitudes, or perceptions. In this case, you initially believed that followers of a certain faith were narrow-minded. However, after visiting their church and observing otherwise, your experience conflicted with your prior belief. To resolve this discomfort, you adjusted your thinking about the faith, which is a classic example of cognitive dissonance in action.
