B. Primary group
C. Reference group
D. Secondary group
The correct answer is C. Reference group.
A reference group is a type of social group that individuals look to when forming their own beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. These groups serve as a standard for evaluating oneself and can influence how a person perceives social norms and values, even if they don’t belong to that group. Conversely, in-groups and primary groups also play important roles in socialization but are more about belonging and close relationships.
