Answer:

Lilly’s comments about her drinking habit are an example of using b. justification to reduce cognitive dissonance.

Explanation:

A cognitive dissonance consists of a situation that involves conflictive mindsets, views, or behaviors. This causes a person to feel mental uneasiness that leads to a modification of one of the mindsets, views, or behaviors to set balance again. Lilly knows that drinking alcohol is bad for her health, but she justifies herself and does it anyway.
