Answer: d. Susceptibility to interpersonal influence.

Explanation:

Interpersonal influence is the type of social influence that is exerted by a group to achieve conformity, the difference being frowned upon or discouraged.

Social influence can be seen as a form of peer influence, where the person is urged to be one of the groups and to adapt to the social paradigms approved by the group.

A person susceptible to social influence succumbs to the pressure of the group and leaving their individuality aside, and follows the paradigms that the group dictates. This is the case of Harriett, who adopts the lifestyle of the social class of her new neighborhood.
