The correct option is C Differential Socialization

Differential socialization means an act of treating people differently based on societal beliefs and roles that are assigned to them in adult society. The learning behaviour is set according to the gender and it is expected that children learn those norms and roles.

Developmental socialization refers to the process of learning behaviour in a social institution which focusses on development of social skill based on the progress in life events.

Secondary socialization refers to the process of learning and understanding values outside family such as in school, social interaction etc.

Primary Socialization refers to the process of socialization of a child in the early childhood stage. It is the process where the child learns how to communicate, culture, personality recognition and basic values etc.
