Highly self-monitoring individuals are more aware of their behaviour and how others perceive them, and are more likely to adjust their behaviour to fit a new social context or image. The band members wanting to behave and style themselves in a more mature way to match their new music genre suggests that they are highly self-monitoring individuals, making option B the best choice. Option A and C (modeling outgroup/ingroup members) may not necessarily fit the band's goals of creating a more mature image, and option D (forming defensive attributions) does not seem relevant to their situation.
