The correct answer is:

(c). influence of the group majority on an individual's judgment.

The Asch effect, named after psychologist Solomon Asch, refers to the phenomenon where individuals conform to the opinions or judgments of a majority group, even if they believe it to be incorrect or different from their own judgment. It demonstrates the power of social pressure and the tendency to conform to societal norms or the majority opinion, even when it goes against one's own beliefs or perceptions.
