C. Justina's friends drink regularly. They recently told her to quit hanging around because she insists on staying sober.

In this scenario, Justina is experiencing peer pressure based on a rejection tactic. Her friends are pressuring her to conform to their drinking behavior, and when she insists on staying sober, they tell her to quit hanging around. This rejection tactic is a form of peer pressure where individuals may feel pressured to conform to the group norm or risk being excluded or rejected by their peers.
