According to the text, deindividuation occurs in crowded or anonymous situations where individuals feel less accountable for their actions. Diana, who is wandering through a crowded marketplace, is most likely to experience deindividuation and therefore more likely to shoplift. The other options provide some form of accountability or self-awareness that would decrease the likelihood of shoplifting.
