It's to give the reasons why you chose an option

Example:

True or false

a) The sum of 2 prime numbers is a primer number
b) The sum of 2 even numbers is an even number
c) The sum of 2 odd numbers is an odd number

Answer

a) F
b) T
c) F

But this doesn't involve any kind of justification.

Now an answer with a justification

a) F. If I sum 3 + 7, the result is 10. And 10 is not a prime since it has 4 divisor, 1, 2, 5 and 10. A number is a prime if and only if it has 2 divisors

b) T. Proof: Any even number can be expressed or 2n. If a = 2n and b = 2m, then a + b = 2n + 2m = 2(n+m). So, c = 2m+n) is an even number a, and this happens forall a, b, integer

c) F. The sum of 5 + 7 is even.

It means to engage in the rather pointless exercise of trying to convince someone else that your choice was 'good' or 'optimum' in some sense ☺

It means you should explain why you took that choice exactly and not other choice?

'Justify your choice' means:

Give statements, reasons, facts, and other consistent and reliable data that will support your choice/decision, proving it true or the best choice.


Shorter:

Prove it.

I assume that this is from an essay question...It means give reasons or explain why gave the answer you did.

It's another way to say, "give your reasons why you made that choice."

Give reasons for your answer in such a way that someone reading your question knows why you chose it.

It means to sufficiently explain to yourself/someone why you have chosen a certain thing.
