What term is used to describe the process where individuals learn the behavior appropriate to their social position?

Socialization
Acculturation
Indoctrination
Assimilation

The correct answer is: Socialization

Socialization refers to the process of learning and internalizing the norms, values, and behaviors of a particular society or group. It is a lifelong process that helps individuals understand and adapt to their social surroundings. Acculturation and assimilation both involve adapting to a new culture, but they do not necessarily focus on learning social behavior. Indoctrination often has a negative connotation and refers to teaching individuals a specific set of beliefs or ideas.
