Answer - B - Socialization is the process through which we are basically trained to be members of society or to participate in some kind of social grouping.

Key Takeaway: The process by which we learn to become members of society is called “socialization.” Basically, you can just remember to think of it as the process of learning to be social. Typically, it is believed that socialization is based upon interactions between human beings, though it is not completely decided what, exactly, makes a human socialized. Sociologists differ in their opinion of what is learned or mimicked as an individual undergoes the process.
