b. Yielding occurs more often on easy, objective items than on difficult, subjective items.

Explanation:

Yielding to group pressure because a person wants to fit in with the group. Conforming because the person is scared of being rejected by the group. This type of conformity usually involves compliance, where a person publicly accepts the views of a group but privately rejects them.
