a. fixation

Explanation:

Fixation, also called functional fixedness, is one of the most common factors that limit the ability of people to solve a problem. In this cognitive bias, a person is only able to use objects in ways they are normally used. Any attempt to use it in other ways to solve a problem is almost impossible.

Fixation really affects creativity. It limits the way people think. It makes people have a parochial view of the way an object can be used. It blocks the thinking ability from seeing alternative approaches to solving a problem.
