Answer:

The correct answer is - option D. Officers told Jennifer that the man she identified in the photo array had been involved in other breaking-and-entering crimes.

Explanation:

In this case, Jennifer claimed that Mr. Cottons is the person who attacked her based on her memory and wrong source of information, however, it eventually found out that it was Bobby, not Cottons.

It is most likely to happen on the basis of options that she gets additional information called suggestibility, about her previous crimes and escaping. She constructed a memory on the suggestibility instead of retrieving the incident. Thus, she concluded that Mr. Cotton was her perpetrator.
