patel ashvi · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The term propinquity refers to the physical proximity or nearness between individuals. In terms of partner selection, research suggests that people are more likely to form romantic relationships with individuals who are in close proximity to them, such as those who live in the same neighborhood or attend the same school/workplace. This can often lead to people selecting partners from the same background due to factors such as shared cultural values or experiences which are more likely to be present in individuals who are in close proximity to each other. Discrimination, reciprocity, and stereotyping are not accurate explanations in this context.
