Answer:

Rationalization

Explanation:

Rationalization is a defense mechanism by which an individual employs to state facts and reasons in a seemingly rational and logical manner to excuse their controversial behavior, or generally unacceptable behaviors.

In this case, Kamal tries to form a defense for smoking by giving reasons such as:

1. Smoking is the only bad thing he does

2. Something must definitely kill a person.

So therefore, logically, his smoking habit can be excused by the doctor. He does this perhaps in order to fight back the feeling of guilt.

Answer:

d. There is a relationship between gender and intended major.

Explanation:

According to the above question, we can see that most women used in research want to continue the psychology course, while most men want to continue the history course.
