I ruled out A because "tends to ignore" sounds stronger and more of a conscious decision than "fails to consider"Emil-Kunkin September 17, 2023
While there might be a slight difference in degree of intentionality in those phrases, they are clearly pointing in the same direction, and are expressing more or less the same idea. I think it's critical to recognize that the ideas expressed are infinitely more important that the wording, and that an idea can be expressed in a number of different ways. Here, we could absolutely describe someone who is ignoring something as failing to consider that thing.
