The correct answer is: The foot-in-the-door technique.

Explanation:

The foot-in-the-door technique can be understood as a type of persuasion technique in which an individual asks the persuaded person initially for the complying of a modest request.

After a while, the request gets progressively more complex.

In the end, the persuaded person ends up agreeing to do something that if presented initially they would have not accepted.

In this particular case Mrs. Timmins agreed to put a small, one-foot sign in her yard. She ends up agreeing to let the volunteer put a new, three-foot-wide sign on the front lawn.

This example illustrates the: Foot-in-the-door technique.
