Conformity is the act of changing one's behavior or beliefs to match those of a group. In this situation, the individual is changing their behavior (sitting on the floor) to match that of the group (who are also sitting on the floor). Compliance refers to acquiescence to a request or demand, obedience refers to following an authority figure's instructions, and group polarization refers to the tendency for a group's decision to become more extreme after discussion. None of these concepts fully describe the situation in the question.
