Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Behaviors that are simple, rewarded, or involve hostility/aggression are all more likely to be imitated according to various psychological theories, including social learning theory. Simple behaviors are easier to replicate, rewarded behaviors are reinforced, and aggressive behaviors can be learned through observation of others, especially if those behaviors appear to offer some form of payoff or are not punished.
