Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Group

Explanation:

The encounter of people in one place at the same can be classified as aggregate, category, and group depending on the way people interact and whether they share features or are part of a unit. In the case of groups, this consist of two or more individuals that consistently interact, think about themselves as a group, share common features and follow specific rules for interaction. This type of social interaction differs from an aggregate and category because individuals that are part of an aggregate do not interact or share common features and the ones in the category share common features but do not interact. Considering in Dr. Jones class all the individuals interact with one another; share common features as they belong to the class, all of them are students and all of them are interested in social reform; think about themselves as a group and follow certain rules to interact the concept that best describes this class is a group.
