Answer:

B. Sublimation

Step-by-step explanation:

Sublimation is a mechanism identified by Sigmund Freud. It means the displacement of an aggressive impulse towards a different objective. Jamie instead of fight with her high school classmates focuses on set free her energy in the military. In this defense mechanism, she changes her focus and wants to modify her attitude.
