Answer 1

Answer:c.inner control

Step-by-step explanation:

Internal control refers to how a person is personally able to control themselves and determine what is wrong and what is right not only because they have been told so but because they internally believe so too. This makes it easier for a person to regulate their own behavior and follow acceptable social norms.

We can see this in Susie she has refused invitations to attend underage drinking parties. This is an internal control because she is in college and her parents are not there to tell her what not to do but still she is able to say no to what she believes is wrong for her to do.
