a. kin selection
b. social responsibility
c. bystander effect
d. social exchange

The correct answer is C. Bystander effect

Explanation:

The bystander effect refers to a psychological concept to describe the effect produced when there is a victim or someone who needs help and multiple spectators, this situation leads to individuals to act as spectators (bystanders) and avoid helping the victim but expecting others to help. Additionally, the more spectators are the less an individual will help or the slower will act. This effect is influenced by multiple factors including relationships established between people, cultural context, familiarity with the situation or knowledge on how to help and believing other people have the responsibility to help. Consider Greg needs help because his car broke down and there are multiple spectators but no one tries to help him even if they can this is an example of bystander effect as spectators do not take the responsibility of helping and probably believe other people should help Greg.
