Normative influence is the influence that arises from the desire to be liked or approved of by others and usually results in public compliance but not necessarily private acceptance. On the other hand, informational influence is the influence that arises from the desire to be correct or accurate and usually results in private acceptance of the group norm, even if it differs from a person's initial judgment. Therefore, informational influence usually gives rise to private acceptance, while normative influence usually gives rise to public compliance. Choice D is the best choice as it correctly reflects this distinction.
