Answer 1

The answer is b. Role playing. more accurately known as role performance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Role performance is described as the way each person decides to express himself. It is based on the idea that we try to make others perceive us as we expect them to do it.

Role performance has often been compared to acting on a stage, and for this reason it was called "dramaturgy" by sociologist Erving Goffman.
