The correct answer is B. Differential association

Explanation:

In sociology, deviance refers to behaviors, actions or ideas that go against the norms, rules or laws established in a society. On the other hand, the term "differential association" refers to the associations or relations of an individual with deviant or non-deviant individuals and the influences these have. Indeed, according to the differential association, relating to deviant individuals can influence one to become a deviant person or commit crimes. According to this, the frequency and closeness of associations a person has with deviant and nondeviant individuals refer to the differential association.
