The correct answer is C.

Peer pressure based on a rejection tactic would mean that the peers/friends are actively saying or doing something that is rejecting the person and making them feel bad about themselves and feel left out in the hope that this will influence them to do what they want them to do. In this case Justina's friends told her to quit hanging around them because she won't drink. This is a rejection tactic.
