Answer from: maysen2001

The correct answer is B. Normative social influence

Explanation:

The Normative social influence refers to the influence a group of individuals has over a particular individual whose opinion or actions differ from the one of the group and that makes the individual change his behavior and opinion in order to fit with the group. This implies due to normative social influence an individual will comfort to be accepted by the members of a group instead of following his own ideas or beliefs. Additionally, this type of influence is related to the need human beings have of being accepted and belong to an association, which also means, the way an individual behaves in a group might be different to the way it behaves in private.

Considering Hank is part of a larger group and his opinion differs from the ones of the other individuals which in this case is about lawn mowers, if he decides to change his opinion to fit with the ones of the group he will succumb to the "Normative social influence" because he is conforming in order to belong to the group and being accepted by it, even though he does not believe that lawn mower is the best.
