Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Valuing being right over being liked is an individual factor that can decrease the tendency to conform. If a person values being correct more than being accepted by the group, they are more likely to resist conforming to the group's norms or beliefs. The other choices (A, B, and D) are all factors that can increase the tendency to conform.
