Answer:

C. Social referencing

Step-by-step explanation:

Social referencing refers to a process where a person probably an infant uses the affective displays of an adult around them to regulate how they behave towards objects, situations and people around them.

The smile from Jane's mother is a form of social referencing that tells Jane what to do. That's is to continue riding. Children use this mechanism to understand the world around them.
