Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Compliance is when an individual changes his or her behavior in response to an explicit or implicit request made by another person. Compliance is often referred to as an active form of social influence in that it is usually intentionally initiated by a person.

Detailed explanation-2: -Compliance implies that an individual accepts influence and alters their thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors. However, this change in thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors is transitory and only lasts as long as the individual sees compliance as beneficial.

Detailed explanation-3: -Obedience is the change of an individual’s behavior to comply with a demand by an authority figure. People often comply with the request because they are concerned about a consequence if they do not comply. To demonstrate this phenomenon, we review another classic social psychology experiment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Compliance is behaving in response to a request from another person or group, even when there is no norm. In other words, compliance is saying ‘yes’ to a request without any rule. For example, a salesperson comes to your home and shows you a product that you don’t need, but you still end up buying it.
