Jason is looking down at the tiny vent holes on his laptop computer, and notices how dusty they have become. When blowing on the holes does not clear the dust from them, he takes a paper clip and unbends it. He then uses the straight ends to clear the dust from each of the vent holes.

Jasons ability to look at the paper clip and see something other than holding papers together illustrates that he has overcome _____.
 
  a. algorithmic paralysis
  b. functional fixedness
  c. the availability heuristic
  d. irrelevant information bias
