Which category includes those who are resistant to change?

The correct answer is C, as laggards are characterized by their resistance to change and their reluctance to adopt new technologies or ideas. This group tends to be skeptical about change and often prefers traditional methods, which makes them slower to adopt innovations compared to other categories. They usually require a significant amount of persuasion and proof of the benefits that new ideas bring.

In contrast, innovators are typically the first to embrace new concepts, seeking novelty and advancements. The early majority are more cautious but still open to change, adopting new innovations after seeing them successfully implemented by the innovators. The late majority adopt change when it becomes the norm or when there is significant pressure from peers to conform. Each of these groups represents a different attitude toward innovation and change, with laggards distinctly known for their resistance.
