Sartre's notion of freedom negotiates between :
Answer: A
The answer is facticity and responsibility.
For Sartre, human freedom is always situated. Facticity is the set of given facts about me that I did not choose: my body, my past, my place and time. I cannot escape these, but I am free in how I take them up, and because I choose, I am wholly responsible for what I make of myself and, Sartre adds, answerable for humanity in my choices. Freedom is worked out between what is given and the responsibility of choosing.
The other pairings do not describe Sartre's account. He rejects nihilism as an excuse, his freedom is not mere indeterminism (random uncaused events), and immanence is not his term for the other pole of freedom, which he calls transcendence.
