Answer 1

c. persuasion is intentional, social influence is not

Step-by-step explanation:

Persuasion is purely fuelled by intent and so the speaker's intention is make his listener to do a particular thing. This as exemplified in presidential debates where each candidate tries to persuade the voters to vote him as president. On the other hand, social influence is largely unintentional and could just happen by just meeting someone or talking to someone or maybe seeing the person. This is largely spontaneous example when kids learn from what older siblings or parents may unintentionally teach them.
