c. C → I: Prosocial aggression involves acts of aggression that are permissible or even encouraged within a particular social context, like a soldier in combat or a police officer subduing a criminal — essentially aggression for the "greater good" or to maintain order.
d. D → II: Sanctioned aggression is aggression that is approved or condoned by society, such as aggressive sportsmanship or law enforcement activities that support social norms.
