Which is an example of a situation where deferential vulnerability might be a factor?

A. A college professor recruiting among his students

B. An army medical officer recruiting subjects among lower ranks

C. A physician recruiting his patients

D. An employer recruiting among persons who directly report to him.

Answer:- C. A physician recruiting his patients

The correct answer is ‘A physician recruiting his patients.’ Deferential vulnerability is a state in which a person feels inferior to another person due to differences in knowledge, social class, or gender. Nowadays, so many people compare their education, caste, social status, and religion to those who are seen as belonging to socially superior groups. Because doctors are regarded as having higher social ranks or levels than patients, attracting patients is a good illustration of deferential vulnerability.
