The correct answer is C. Sexual scripts

Explanation:

The term "sexual scripts" refers to ideas, beliefs or conceptions about interactions between females and males. This is part of a theory in which female and male interaction, especially in romantic or sexual situations, seems to follow specific parameters or a script. Besides this, sexual scripts are influenced by the social and cultural context, personal experiences and personal factors.

The sexual script is different in the case of Cindy and Jacob because Cindy expects the first date is just to get to know Jacob, while Jacob expects this to end in a sexual encounter which means both have different ideas or beliefs about how a man and a woman should interact in this situation.
