Answer: D. Passive compliance

Explanation: Generally speaking, being passive or passive in agreeing with something or someone means taking a passive attitude without including at first glance a visible reaction to the behaviour of someone else who may be both a roommate and a member of a wider group. Passive compliance, as in the case of Connie, is in fact the absence of a desire to actively influence the behaviour of others in our environment, if such behaviour is inappropriate and directly affects the conditions of that same environment in which we live. It has to be said that Connie's behaviour is a passive influence because if roommate sees that Connie has to go to the library to study because that roommate plays music, and everything else he does and forces Connie to obey it, then maybe the roommate might change that behaviour, though does not have to mean.
