The correct answer is D. Conformity

Step-by-step explanation:

Conformity occurs as individuals adapt to the behavior or beliefs of others which is necessary to fit in a group or society. This is the result of social pressure exerted by other individuals or the desire to be accepted. Additionally, conformity can lead to positive actions but it can lead to negative actions and often involves abandoning own beliefs or desires.

Kamish desire and behavior is an example of conformity because it is likely the main reason she waits in line to purchase the new CD is that her friends are doing the same. This means she changes her desires and behaviors to match those of her friend and in this way fit in a group.
