Answer 1

Rahim's self-description best reflects the motive to justify our past behaviors.

Step-by-step explanation:

We as humans tend to love ourselves and often overlook certain actions of misconduct that we perform. When certain people will tell us about the difficulties they are facing with our behaviour, our instinct action becomes to protect and justify ourselves.

In the scenario being discussed in the question, Rahim also is approaching such actions. He is justifying his actions because we as humans tend to overlook our mistakes, other than realizing them.
