Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions that follow:

The problem of household garbage is common in most Indian cities. Despite the increasing concern for a clean environment, we do not know to what extent citizens are aware of how to dispose of the garbage at home. Sanyogita, a high school teacher, took the lead to organize a team comprising of her colleagues in school and started going door to door in the nearby colonies to educate people on how to separate domestic waste and hand it over to the garbage collection agencies. She also avidly read about methods used by other developed countries and felt distressed when she observed how callous some people were towards keeping a clean environment. The local newspapers appreciated Sanyogita’s efforts and applauded her pub licly. Sanyogita’s students and children joined her mission to segregate garbage and send the biodegradable waste to the nearby recycle plant. Identify the behavioral component of the attitude displayed by Sanyogita towards the environment

The correct option is:
Sanyogita took the lead to organise a team of teachers and started going door to door in the nearby colonies.

Explanation:

An attitude is generally understood to have three components, often referred to as the CAB model:
1. Cognitive component: The beliefs, thoughts, or knowledge one holds about an object, person, or situation (e.g., Sanyogita reading about waste disposal methods used by developed countries).
2. Affective component: The emotions or feelings associated with the object or situation (e.g., Sanyogita feeling distressed when she observed how callous people were towards keeping a clean environment).
3. Behavioral (or Conative) component: The tendency or actual action taken towards the object or situation.

In this passage, the behavioral component is shown through Sanyogita's actual actions and physical initiatives to address the problem. By taking the lead, organizing a team, and going door-to-door to educate people on garbage segregation, she translates her beliefs and feelings into direct action. Therefore, this specific action represents the behavioral component of her attitude towards the environment.
