C. Denying reality by blaming someone else for one's shortcomings


Projection is a defense mechanism in psychology where individuals attribute their own undesirable thoughts, feelings, or traits onto someone else. It involves projecting one's own feelings or impulses onto another person, often as a way to avoid acknowledging or dealing with those feelings within oneself. Blaming others for one's own shortcomings is an example of projection.
