Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Social rewards theory proposes that people choose to stay in a group when the social rewards, such as positive interactions with others, status or belongingness, exceed the perceived costs, such as time or effort. This theory helps to explain why individuals may stay in a group even when they do not agree with the group's beliefs or behaviors.
