Question

pinned it on one of my friends instead of owning up to it.
told her i didnt know who said it.

Explanation:

This is a question about ethical or responsible behavior, often related to psychology (a subfield of Social Science) which studies human behavior and decision - making. The first option shows taking responsibility, which is a positive and ethical choice in terms of behavioral conduct. The other two options involve avoiding responsibility (blaming a friend or feigning ignorance). So the most appropriate and ethical response is the first one.

Answer:

A. confessed that I had said it and apologized to her.
