Question

Alonzo Claybrook · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The theory of reasoned action suggests that attitudes towards behavior (in this case, buying) are a better predictor of the behavior than simply evaluating the product itself. This is because attitudes encompass a broader range of factors, including personal feelings and societal influences, which can more accurately predict whether someone will make a purchase.
