Answer:

The right answer is:  d. self-censorship

Explanation:

This example concerns a combat situation in the military, but the described behavior is very common in many professions. The captain is convinced that the general´s strategy won´t be sucessful and that many lives will be lost, but he´s afraid of saying his opinion because other officers or even some of his own soldiers may think he´s a coward. Such examples have been seen in real-life cases in historical wars. Judging that he couldn´t stand repudiation or even a risk to his own career, he prefers to remain silent, to censor himself.

Someone who felt that states should have the freedom to make their own laws would support selective incorporation, as the incorporation of the Bill of Rights in its entirety would go against the liberties of the states in the matters of the establishment of their own laws.
