This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

The tendency to act like those around us and be influenced by what they do is called?

a. Conformity

b. Obedience

c. Normative influence

d. Informational influence

Answer:

The tendency to act like those around us and be influenced by them is called a. conformity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of conformity in psychology is related to social influence. Conformity takes place when we match our behaviors and attitudes to the behaviors and attitudes of the social groups in which we are inserted. Simply put, conformity means doing what others do, thinking what others think. We conform because we feel pressured to do so, as a way to fit in, to belong. However, such pressure can be imagined.
