Question

what is peer pressure?
the desire of an individual to do things that friends want him or her to do
the need to resist the influence of friends and assert individuality
the social motivation to have and keep close friendships with multiple people
the impulse of an individual to socialize with people of the same general age

Explanation:

Peer pressure refers to the influence from one's peers (friends, same - age group etc.) that makes an individual want to do what the peers want. The first option "the desire of an individual to do things that friends want him or her to do" matches this definition. The second option is about resisting influence, not peer pressure. The third option is about the motivation for friendships, not peer pressure. The fourth option is about the impulse to socialize with same - age people, not about the influence to do what peers want.

Answer:

A. the desire of an individual to do things that friends want him or her to do
