Answer:

Disposition effect, Overconfidence and herd behavior

Explanation:

a. Wanda's appropriate behavioral bias is Disposition effect

The disposition effect is an anomaly discovered in behavioral finance. It relates to the tendency of investors to sell assets that have increased in value, while keeping assets that have dropped in value.

b. Drew's appropriate behavioral bias is Overconfidence

Overconfidence effect is a well-established bias in which a person's subjective confidence in his or her judgement is reliably greater than the objective accuracy of those judgments. Hence, he thinks his sense of direction is much better than it actually is.

c. Yusuf's appropriate behavioral bias is herd behavior

Herd behavior is the behavior of individuals in a group acting collectively without centralized direction.
