Can selection of a product can be considered as consumer behavior EXCEPT?

Selection of a product can be considered consumer behavior except when it is influenced by external factors beyond the consumer's control, such as regulations or market monopolies. In such cases, the choice may not reflect personal preferences or decision-making processes, which are core elements of consumer behavior. Additionally, if the selection is made in a purely automated or impulsive manner without consideration or evaluation, it may not qualify as a deliberate consumer behavior.
