Answer 1

The correct answer is letter A.

Explanation: Socialization is the act or effect of socializing, that is, of becoming social, of reuniting in society. It is the extension of particular advantages through laws and decrees to the whole of society. It is the process of integrating individuals into a group.

Socialization means learning or educating, in the broadest sense of the word, learning that begins in early childhood and only ends with one's death.
