Answer:

d. it makes them feel safer and more in control.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, people want to believe that their behaviour is the consequence of well-thought out reasoning and ideas, and therefore, they tend to want to develop logical attributions for their behaviour. This is because people want to feel safe and in control. When they are able to understand the logical reasons for their acts, this makes them feel like they have control to determine their behaviour, and in consequence, their life.
