The term that best fits in this sentence is "enacted." The sentence suggests that Carol was expected to play a specific role in the meeting (i.e., to show up on time), but her actual behavior was different in each case. By arriving on time for the first meeting and 20 minutes late for the second meeting, Carol "enacted" different behaviors or roles. Therefore, option C, "enacted," is the best choice.
