Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Stressful life experiences are less likely to be repressed, as they tend to be vivid and memorable. Repression typically occurs with traumatic experiences that are too overwhelming for the individual to process at the time, and therefore are stored in the unconscious mind. However, being terrorized by a hijacker would likely be a highly salient and emotionally charged experience that would be difficult to forget or repress. Thus, options A, C, and D are all more likely to occur with this type of experience.
