Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patterns of behavior used to take unfair advantage of another person are commonly referred to as power plays. Disqualifiers may refer to tactics used to undermine someone or communicate a lack of interest in them, but do not necessarily involve taking unfair advantage. Privileges relate to entitlements or benefits, while power priming refers to a psychological phenomenon where exposure to power-related stimuli increases subsequent feelings of power. Therefore, option B is the best choice.
