Answer:

a. post-purchase cognitive dissonance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cognitive dissonance: It occurs as a consequence of an inconsistency between a consumer's decision and consumer's prior appraisal.

Post Purchase Cognitive Dissonance: This is the expression we give to the state of agitation which is there in the customer's mind after purchasing a product or service.

Example: After buying a car someone thinks they paid too much for it.
