When pressured to conform,people may do the opposite of what is expected as a way of increasing their sense of

A) social control.
B) groupthink.
C) personal control.
D) social facilitation.

When pressured to conform, people may react by seeking to increase their sense of personal control, which can lead them to behave in ways that are inconsistent with the group or social norms. This can be a way of affirming their own individuality and resisting the pressures of conformity. Option A (social control) is unlikely as conforming behavior typically involves adhering to social norms and expectations, rather than exerting control over others. Option B (groupthink) is the opposite of non-conformity, where people prioritize group harmony over independent thought or action. Option D (social facilitation) is the phenomenon of people performing better on simple or well-rehearsed tasks when in the presence of others, which is unrelated to the question of conformity.
