Explanation:

To determine the meaning of a non - conformist, we analyze each option:

• Option a: A non - conformist is not defined by disagreeing with conformists and rebelling against them. Their focus is on their own ideas, not opposing others. So this is incorrect.
• Option b: Joining groups and melding thinking to their ideas is the definition of a conformist, not a non - conformist. So this is incorrect.
• Option c: A non - conformist is an individual who holds firmly to their own ideas and beliefs and does not yield to group pressures. This matches the concept of non - conformity.

Answer:

c. It means you stand as an individual and hold tightly to your ideas and beliefs, not giving in to groups and people around you.
