Question

Alison Sierra · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Politicians who publicly oppose a tax increase that they privately favor are demonstrating an inconsistency between their actions and their attitudes. While they may personally believe that a tax increase is necessary or beneficial, they are publicly opposing it for strategic or political reasons. This shows that situations and external factors can influence a person's actions and decision-making, even if they go against their personal beliefs or attitudes.
