Solution

The most likely rationale for Hoc's behavior is option b. He is following his cultural norms by showing deference to adults. In many Southeast Asian cultures, it is considered respectful to avoid direct eye contact with elders or those in authority. This is a sign of respect and deference, not a sign of disinterest, fear, or ignorance.
