C. Val always thought snowmobiles were really cool.

Answer 2

The answer is "C. Val always thought snowmobiles were really cool."

We jump at the chance to believe that we are responsible for our decisions. However proof from different neuroeconomics and promoting contemplates demonstrate that a large number of the decisions we make in our everyday lives have less to do with our very own decisions than we might want to think, and we are rather effectively impacted by internal instinctive states and external proposals and primes.  

Plainly we don't live or work in a vacuum, nor do we settle on our choices in one. Being aware of the intuitive impacts we are presented to, both internally and externally, can enable us to settle on better choices with a clearer mind and less one-sided approach.
