c. someone who waited 7 hours in the rain to get tickets

Explanation:

The psychologist Leon Festinger proposed the theory of cognitive dissonance, which explains how people try to maintain their internal consistency. It refers to all those awkward moments where we can find ourselves in conflict with ourselves because of the feeling we have of not being acting in coherence with our beliefs, ideas, and thoughts.
