A	Denial
B	Compensation
C	Reaction Formation

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Imagine, for example, having an argument with your partner, and instead of using conflict resolution tools, you stomp off, slam the door and give your partner the cold shoulder.

Detailed explanation-2: -Regression is a defense mechanism in which people seem to return to an earlier developmental stage.

Regression may arise from a desire to reduce anxiety and feel psychologically safe.
