Can anybody tell me which is the correct option A or B

A-Their love is rooted on their denial to change
B- Their love is rooted in their denial to change

I think "in" is the correct one, but one collegue made me doubt!

Im not convinced you can say denial to change - I would suggest "refusing to change".

Wow! Some help I am. I didn �t even read the whole sentence. Yes, I agree that "refusing to change" or "refusal to change" makes more sense than "denial to change".

Hi guys,

You probably don �t watch TV shows Smile

"Denial" is very often used in terms of relationships in everyday lexicon of TV show characters as in "He �s still in denial" (that is to say refusing to face his situation with his girlfriend be it break up or confession of love)
