Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Goffman used the concept of "manner" to describe the demeanor or behavior actors use to show others what type of role they are playing. The other concepts listed (front, setting, appearance, and backstage) are also part of Goffman's dramaturgical framework, but they are not directly related to the behavior actors use to present their roles.
