Labeling theory

Explanation:

Labeling theory argues that a person's behavior and  identity may be influenced by the term they are classified or described with. Therefore, a person will most likely act out how he/she is classified. So, when a individual is classified as "deviant", it could lead to that individual engaging in the deviant behavior, hence affecting the social identity of the individual.

Therefore the study of the sociologist illustrates labeling theory.

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
