Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conformity refers to changing one's behavior or attitudes to align with those of a group, whether or not there is any explicit pressure to do so. While cooperation (A) may involve working with others toward a common goal, it does not necessarily involve changing one's behavior or attitudes to conform to those of the group. Coercion (B) refers to being forced to do something against one's will, whereas conformity may involve a voluntary change in behavior or attitudes. Obedience (C) specifically refers to following the orders or instructions of an authority figure, which is a distinct concept from conformity.
