B. exosystem
C. social construction
D. social phobia

Answer 1

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Under the given scenario, Li is the subject whose characteristics can be studied in two ways, i.e. one in the classroom surroundings and other at her home. Jointly we can examine the development and certainly know a lot about the subject. This is known as a social construction. Social construction-ism referred to as a notion of knowledge in disciplines such as sociology and theory of communication, where one examines the development of subject under amalgamated constructed comprehension of the world which usually forms the basis for belief.
