Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Alcohol consumption can reduce inhibitions and self-awareness, causing individuals to act in ways that they may not otherwise. This suggests that Akiva's reduced guilt was due to his decreased self-awareness after consuming the three cans of beer. None of the other options are directly related to reduced guilt.
