Answer: The Answer is A. Rationalization

Well rationalization means that one is giving reasons to JUSTIFY their actions with logical reasons. Bruce said: "Look, smoking is the only bad thing I do, and besides, you have to die from something." So this is him giving a REASON to his doctor.

Hope I helped!
