Research has shown that people do tend to treat attractive individuals better and show bias towards them in various situations such as job interviews, court cases, and social interactions. This bias is not limited to adult interactions and has also been observed in children. Studies have shown that children as young as 3 years old show a preference for attractive children over unattractive ones, and teachers and peers also tend to treat attractive children more positively. Therefore, option C, which states that there is no tendency for people to treat unattractive children less fairly, is false.
