Answer: B.conformity

Step-by-step explanation:

Conformity is when a person changes his/her belief to match that of a group of people which may be the person's peers but have no right to dictate his/her behavior.

Labeling is the act of applying a social description to a person or a group of people and may define a person’s status in a society.

Deviance: to go against what is seen a normal or acceptable by a group of people .

Obedience: is to submit to the laws of an authority, such as the government.
