A flash mob is BEST classified as **collective behavior because flash mobs involve structure and norms.**
Flash mobs typically consist of a large number of people who gather suddenly in a public space to perform a specific act, often choreographed, and then disperse quickly. While there may be some aspects of group behavior, flash mobs are characterized by their spontaneous nature and the temporary, emergent organizing that occurs, which aligns more closely with collective behavior.
