Hello, this question is incomplete. The complete question would be:

"Denise went on a diet to lose some weight. When she went to lunch with some co-workers, she hesitated when it was her turn to order. Finally, she ordered the burger and fries instead of the salad and yogurt. She then justified her choice by telling herself that some protein every day is important for good health. Denise's tendency to focus on the positive aspects of her choice and minimize the negative aspects illustrates which of the following concepts in action?

a. the fundamental attribution error ; b. cognitive dissonance ; c. the self-effacing bias ; d. informational social influence"

b. cognitive dissonance

Explanation:

In psychology, cognitive dissonance is understood as the stress or discomfort we perceive when we have two contradictory or incompatible ideas, or when our beliefs are not in harmony with what we practice. The opposite also happens, that is, we can say that we are experiencing cognitive dissonance when our mind is in harmony with our actions. An example of this can be seen in the question above, where Denise who is dieting is comfortable asking for hamburger and chips to eat, because her mind believes that even in the middle of the diet, eating protein will be positive for her body.
