The passage suggests that the motive for a child to acquire emotional display rules is to maintain social approval. Both options A and B reflect this idea. Option A states that compliance with emotional display rules occurs earlier in cultures that place more stress on social harmony, which implies that children in these cultures are motivated to acquire these rules to maintain social harmony.
