Jimmy is asked whether English words that end in -ing are more common than words that have n as the second-to-last letter. He mentally generates a long list of -ing words (running, jumping, reading, laughing) but can only think of a few that have n as the second-to-last letter (drink, second). He therefore incorrectly concludes that -ing endings are more common. Which barrier to rational reasoning did Jimmy fall prey to?
a)  the availability heuristic
b)  the affect heuristic
c)  the framing effect
d)  the hindsight bias
