Feed in?

This is a question of entrance exams for a college in Japan.

Information overload and the average Web surfer’s limited attention span aren’t exactly conducive to fact-checking vigilance. Confirmation bias feeds in as well.

(Adapted from ScienceNews, July 26, 2018)

Which word is most similar to "feeds in"?

a. diminishes b. contributes c. consumes d. provides

I looked the idiom up in several dictionaries, but I couldn't find the answer.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

I think d. provide would be the answer.

Considering the context, to feed in seems to mean to increase.

Thanks.

intransitive verbs would be a.diminishes or b. contributes.

a. diminishes is not fit for this sentence, so I think b. contributes is the answer.
