Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Conformity is often promoted when an individual's behavior is observed by others in the group. This is because individuals may feel pressure to conform to the group's norms and expectations in order to be accepted and avoid rejection or conflict. Therefore, the presence or absence of others and their level of attention can significantly influence whether an individual conforms or not. The other choices listed (B, C, and D) are not necessarily relevant or significant factors in promoting conformity.
