Phuong has heard many times about how, when she was 3 years old, she smashed both her hands into her chocolate birthday cake. It is a favorite family story, usually told whenever there is a gathering of relatives and especially at birthdays. One day Phuong is flipping through a scrapbook and finds photos of herself, clearly dated on her third birthday, with a strawberry cake in front of her. Photo after photo shows the cake being sliced and distributed, with nary a smudge on her hands nor any chocolate in sight. Which of the following phenomena best accounts for Phuong's false memory of her third birthday?
a)  confabulation
b)  childhood amnesia
c)  repression
d)  source misattribution
