    B. Conformist

    Explanation:

    Robert Merton, an American sociologist describes a conformist in his study of deviance behaviour as an individual who accepts and adhere to the goals, rules defined by a society in order to achieve the societal set goals at expense of the individual's personal way of attaining goal. A conformist will abide by a society's rules to achieve a set goal even if the society doesn't provide the means to everyone to accomplish the goals it sets out for them
