Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. passive programming
1. Socialisation is not 'cultural programming' in which a child passively absorbs influences.
2. Even a newborn asserts its will: it cries until those responsible for its care respond.
3. The child therefore takes an active part in its own socialisation.
