Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Leippe and Eisenstadt's experiments, many of the white participants relieved their dissonance by showing lower prejudicial attitudes, rather than by engaging in more extreme behaviors such as showing support for racist organizations or denying that they had written the essays. Additionally, denying that they had written the essays or seeking to befriend and date minorities would not necessarily alleviate the dissonance caused by their contradictory beliefs and actions. Therefore, option B is the best choice.
