    B. Cognitive Dissonance

    Explanation:

    Cognitive Dissonance refers to a psychological state wherein an individuals thoughts are inconsistent and conflicting. Such a feeling leads to uneasiness, anxiousness and mental discomfort.

    For instance, a smoker after smoking considering the possibility of his getting diagnosed with cancer.

    Such a state of mind makes it hard to arrive at a decision since thoughts are not in accord or harmony and the individual is always considering and reconsidering his/her decisions.

    In the given case, Sheri after having already enrolled is reconsidering her decision despite knowing she cannot rewind and change her already opted option. This behavior indicates a state of cognitive dissonance.
