select the correct answer.
which is an example of positive peer pressure?
a. chris is a member of a group at school that only lets people join if they promise not to engage in sexual activity.
b. wendy tells her friend about refusing to have sex with her boyfriend, and her friend decides to use the same approach.
c. monique is the most popular and attractive girl at school, so all her friends try to dress and act like her.

Explanation:

To determine positive peer pressure, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A group requiring a promise to avoid sexual activity is a group rule, not direct peer influence (e.g., one peer influencing another).
• Option B: Wendy shares her choice to refuse sex, and her friend adopts the same approach. This is positive peer pressure as one peer’s healthy decision influences another to make a good choice.
• Option C: Friends imitating Monique’s dress/behavior is about conforming to popularity, not a positive, health - promoting influence.

Answer:

B. Wendy tells her friend about refusing to have sex with her boyfriend, and her friend decides to use the same approach.
