(B) Have some shared interest
(C) Develop some sense of belongingness
(D) Always live in the same geographical area

• A. (A), (B) and (C) only
• B. (A), (B) and (D) only
• C. (A), (B), (C) and (D)
• D. (B), (C) and (D) only

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct answer highlights these features:

• Interact regularly / Often (A): Regular interaction, marked by frequent communication, is a key group characteristic.
• Have some shared interest (B): Common interests or goals typically underpin group formation.
• Develop some sense of belongingness (C): Members develop a sense of connection and identification with the group.

However, living in the same geographical area (D) is not a prerequisite for a group, as groups can be virtual or geographically dispersed.
