The better-than-average effect refers to the tendency of individuals to overestimate their abilities or qualities compared to others. Choices A, B, and C are examples of this cognitive bias, where people believe they are better than average in driving, intelligence, and humor, respectively. Choice D, however, does not fit this pattern, as it suggests people think they are angrier than others, which is not typically considered a positive attribute or an ability one would boast about being better at.
