Final Answer : A, Explanation :  This scenario is a classic example of framing, which is the way information is presented or framed in order to influence people's decisions. When the default option is set to Yes for organ donation, people are more likely to follow suit because it is the default or expected choice. On the other hand, when the default option is set to No, people are less likely to choose to opt-in because this option is not the norm or expected choice. Therefore, framing has a significant impact on people's decisions.
