c. one's family

Explanation:

George Herbert Mead was a famous American sociologist, psychologist and a philosopher. He was one of the distinguished pragmatists of his time.

According to George Mead, "generalized other" refers to an individual's internalized conception of attitudes and expectations which is held by the society.

Mead called the family members as the "generalized other" as one's family is important to socialization process because family passes along the social identity to the children in terms of ethnicity, religion and class.
