Option A: escalating commitment

Explanation:

Escalation of commitment is a behavioral pattern that is common to humans. it is common when individuals, groups, companies e. t. c has a high rising bad/negative fallback/outcomes of a decision or investment made and still yet still stands by their initial decision and behavior and would not change their mindset or course.

An example is: Humans in their pursuit of their vision, goals and dreams go a long way in investing their time, money, ability, effort, intellectual knowledge and even indulge in any scheme at times just to achieve that goal or dream and when things are not working in the way one expects and negative outcome as a result of our decision and steps arises, we tend not to give up but still push on due to efforts that has being invested and we do not want to appear weak or inconsistent.
