A. However is my best guess none of the other choices seem to fit in very well. Good luck :)
Answer: <u>d. Friends</u>
<u />
I say its d because they are of different race so I don't think thy are a family. Its not online bceause they are next to each other in person. TThey could either be coworkers or friends though why are they all hugging each other. They seem too close to be coworkers so I say friends.
It would be qualitative because you are not researching for numbers or quantity.
Hope this helps :)
