Hypocrisy refers to the act of pretending to have beliefs, opinions, or virtues that one does not actually hold or practice. It is the best choice because it directly addresses the discrepancy between idealism (what one believes or thinks) and behavior (what one actually does). Introspection and egocentrism are not appropriate choices because they refer to different concepts unrelated to idealism and behavior. Idealism is not a suitable choice because it is one of the variables involved in the discrepancy, not the name given to it.
