Answer 1

Interpersonal attraction theory refers attraction between two individuals which is either platonic or romantic. When two people come together based on some similar grounds and interests, they are more likely to value each other and find each other's company rewarding.

When a person is alone or with another being, he is more likely to help somebody in an emergency than when he is in a group.

Thus, the correct answer is option, B.
