Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Saul's behavior is driven by the desire to be liked by those around him, which is characteristic of normative social influence. This is the tendency to conform in order to fit in and be accepted by a group. Compliance is a type of social influence in which an individual conforms to explicit or implicit requests or to social norms without necessarily changing their beliefs or attitudes. Obedience is a type of social influence in which an individual complies with the instructions or orders of an authority figure. Informational social influence is when an individual conforms to the beliefs or behavior of a group in order to be accurate or correct.
