The correct answer is the second option.

Janelle is using a type of peer pressure called reasoning. She is saying to Franco that she thinks he will like a pill that she is taking therefore encouraging him to use it. It's a type of peer pressure tactic that sounds reasonably harmful because it's making use of appearing to be helpful and logical whereas it is actually encouraging someone to do something they may not want to do or something that could be harmful to them.
