The description you provided aligns closely with Option 1: Recklessness. Recklessness in a legal context refers to a state of mind where a person acts with awareness of a substantial and unjustifiable risk but goes ahead with their actions regardless. It involves a conscious disregard for the potential harm or consequences of one's actions.
