Who are individuals that have the right and responsibility to influence your behavior?

The correct choice identifies authority figures as individuals with both the right and responsibility to influence your behavior. Authority figures, such as teachers, parents, coaches, or law enforcement, often hold positions of power or responsibility that grant them the ability to guide decisions, set boundaries, and establish rules that promote safety and proper conduct. Their influence is often rooted in their role and the expectations associated with it, which is why they are granted a level of authority in shaping behavior and norms.

While friends, peers, and family members can certainly impact behavior, their influence tends to stem from personal relationships and social dynamics rather than an established authority. Friends and peers may encourage certain behaviors or attitudes, but their role is not typically one of formal authority. Family members can influence behavior as well, but this influence can vary greatly based on individual relationships and dynamics within the family.
