Answer 1

Answer: C. State oriented

Explanation: state oriented individuals are persons who are easily controlled by external stimuli such as peer pressure. They actually don't have a control over what they see,they are easily influenced hence they can make purchases as Janice does without proper planning and preparation.

Unlike action oriented persons who are mostly moved by proper and careful considerations and planning before taking any action or purchases,they are able to overcome peer pressure.
