Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Social Impact Theory is a framework in social psychology that is applicable to persuasion and obedience, among other topics.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they either refer to a different theoretical framework (Subjective Expected Value) or incorrectly specify the outcome variable (compliance instead of obedience).
