Which of the following best describes resistance?

Agreement with a proposal
A willingness to cooperate
An act of opposition
A decision to conform

The correct answer is: An act of opposition

Resistance is characterized as an act of opposition. This means that when someone displays resistance, they are actively pushing back against a idea, proposal, or demand. It involves a refusal to accept or comply with something, indicating a lack of support or agreement. The other options suggest a more favorable or cooperative stance, which does not align with the idea of resistance. For instance, agreeing with a proposal or showing willingness to cooperate implies acceptance, while a decision to conform indicates an alignment with external expectations or pressures. In contrast, resistance is fundamentally about standing firm against such pressures or proposals.
