Answer: representativeness bias.

**Explanation:** Base-rate neglect is a cognitive bias where individuals ignore or underweight the base rate (prior probability) information in favor of specific, individuating information. This bias is a subtype of representativeness bias. **Key Points:** 1. **Representativeness bias** occurs when people judge the probability of an event based on how similar it is to a prototype or stereotype, rather than using statistical information. 2. **Base-rate neglect** specifically refers to ignoring statistical base rates when making probability judgments. 3. **Hindsight bias** is the tendency to believe, after an event has occurred, that one would have predicted or expected the outcome ("I knew it all along"). 4. **Endowment bias** is the tendency for people to value something more highly simply because they own it. Therefore, base-rate neglect is correctly classified as a type of representativeness bias (Option C).
