Final Answer : B, Explanation :  This scenario illustrates the foot-in-the-door phenomenon, which involves getting someone to agree to a small request (in this case, the 3-inch sign) with the intention of later making a larger request (the very large and unattractive sign). The initial agreement to the small request makes individuals more likely to comply with the larger request, due to the principle of consistency.
