We are used to giving benefit of a doubt to people we are closest to, the ones who we know very well. This comes to us naturally as we know for a fact they are good people; and even more - we know they like/ love us so they wouldn't do anything against us.

A) Since we love and trust our close ones, we often tend to believe them, even when we are not sure what they are saying is true. B) Given that we are very attached to our relatives, we often try to hide their crimes and cover up for their lies.
C) Since humans are inherently doubting, there is a tendency to be sceptic about anyone. D) Humans have nepotism ingrained in them, which means that they would favour only their relatives over and above a fool proof evidence against them.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Since we love and trust our close ones, we often tend to believe them, even when we are not sure what they are saying is true.
