Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Greta and Jim's behaviors and preferences are influenced by both their personal disposition (introversion vs extroversion) and their environment (parties vs library). This is an example of reciprocal determinism, where the person and their environment continuously influence and shape each other. The other options do not accurately reflect this concept.
