When we look closely at the reactions of people to the same situation, we see

A) evidence that most people behave in typical ways.
B) that people are more alike than they are different.
C) each individual's personality is overwhelmed by the demands of the situation.
D) that characteristic differences between people begin to emerge.

When people react differently to the same situation, it indicates that characteristic differences between people begin to emerge. This suggests that individual personalities cannot be entirely overwhelmed by external factors, as some people are predisposed to react in certain ways due to their unique traits and experiences. While there may be some typical or common reactions to certain situations, overall, people demonstrate a diversity of responses that reflect their individuality.
