Deindividuation refers to

A) the inability of a person to think for themselves.
B) the willingness of a person to take the blame for the entire group.
C) the sense of merging with a group so that blame for bad outcomes will be shared.
D) a sense of normlessness.

Deindividuation refers to the loss of self-awareness and self-restraint in group situations that foster anonymity and draw attention away from the individual. This makes the individual more likely to behave in an impulsive and uninhibited way, and also makes it easier for them to disassociate from responsibility for their actions by attributing them to the group as a whole.
