This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Tommy joined a military where his head was shaved, he was stripped of his personal belongings, and was issued a uniform identical to his fellow soldiers. Tommy is experiencing _____.

-anticipatory socialization

-reverse socialization

-resocialization

-amalgamation

Answer:

Tommy is experiencing resocialization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Military boot-camps deliberately put people through the process of resocialization. This process consists of re-engineering a person's social norms, beliefs and values. It often involves rewards and punishments in order to condition new behavior. The purpose is indeed to build a new sense of self, one that serves the purposes of that institution or environment.
