Giovanni Wilkerson · Answer 1

B. When others are watching you

Explanation:

The studies in social psychology have demonstrated how behavior often is modified when in the presence of others; most people will act based on the norms when seen by others.

Rather than being themselves in many occasions, our actions are based on the premise that others are present or watching us. In total solitude, the behaviour of ourself tends to be very different, since the true self emerges.
