Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
This statement makes logical sense as individuals who hold negative beliefs about a particular group would be less likely to want to join that group. It also aligns with research on social identity theory and intergroup relations.

Answer: None of the above
Both options B and C are unsupported by any evidence or research, and option A is the only statement that makes logical sense and aligns with existing research. Therefore, the best answer is "none of the above" as there is only one correct option.
