Choice-A

Choice A is correct because in this case, the person explains the reason behind their action (leaving early), which shows it was a justified decision.

{sbBox2-correct} To give a good reason for an action or belief.

Choice-B

Choice B is incorrect because ignoring rules to do whatever you want would be called disobedience, not justification.

{sbBox2-wrong} To ignore the rules and do whatever you want.

Choice-C

Choice C is incorrect because preventing someone from doing something is associated with words like forbid, restrict, or prohibit, but not justify. Justifying has nothing to do with stopping someone. It’s about defending or explaining something.

{sbBox2-wrong} To prevent someone from doing something.

Choice-D

Choice D is incorrect because making something disappear completely is more aligned with words like erase, obliterate, or remove. Justifying is about providing reasons or explanations, not about making something vanish.

{sbBox2-wrong} To make something disappear completely.
