BFinal answer:

The correct sentence supporting the inference about Alexandra's attitude change is option C, which indicates that her disposition is affected by her friends' opinions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that best supports the inference that Alexandra's attitude changes depending on the people she is spending time with is: "Without the thoughts of her friends disapproving of this "babyish" activity, Alexandra really allowed herself to have fun."
