B
Lying to yourself:no choices, cannot change your future
C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This means for Sartre that all essences are transcendent (rather than immanent), and that the real existing object of thought is prior to and in some sense determines the content of the thought. (2) Being-for-itself (consciousness) is the source of all negation/ nothingness.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sartre believed in the essential freedom of individuals, and he also believed that as free beings, people are responsible for all elements of themselves, their consciousness, and their actions. That is, with total freedom comes total responsibility.

Detailed explanation-3: -In Bad Faith, we deny our facticity in favor of our transcendence or our transcendence over our facticity in order to convince ourselves of something. Sartre thinks that we take advantage of the gap or distinction between transcendence and facticity in order to be in bad faith.
