Answer:
B. Rationalization
Explanation:
Rationalization is a defense mechanism, part conscious and part unconscious, in which faults and errors are forgiven and forgiven both to the subject himself and to others so that the subject's self-esteem is preserved. Rationalization is related to our need to explain what happens and maintain coherence between actions and thoughts.
For this reason, we can conclude that a common form of rationalization is when a person makes excuses for why he/she cannot do what is requested of him/her.
