Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Hindsight bias is the tendency to believe, after an event has occurred, that one would have predicted or expected the outcome. The phrase "I knew it all along" is consistent with this bias as it suggests that the person had already predicted the outcome without necessarily having any prior knowledge or evidence.
