Explanation:

• For "Addison goes to the mall with her friends", this is just a social activity with no positive influence on behavior.
• For "Tasha encourages her friend to change her clothes because they are too old", this may be negative as it could promote materialism or body - image issues.
• For "Jacob encourages his friend to work out with him every morning", working out is a healthy behavior, so this is a positive influence on the friend's health and lifestyle.
• For "Tyler gives an older man fifty dollars to buy him and his friend alcohol for a party", underage drinking is illegal and unhealthy, so this is a negative influence.

Answer:

C. Jacob encourages his friend to work out with him every morning.
