Answer 1

A) empathy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Social contagion refers to the tendency of a person to behave in a certain way by copying others. J.O Ogunlade describes it as an uncritical imitation where a model's behavior is copied by the observer to reduce restraint. Empathy refers to the compassionate behavior which comes from within by understanding the mood of others. It is the capacity to put our-self in the position of others to understand their point of view to help others.
