What does the term "social interaction" mean?

  1. The study of people’s behavior

  2. People interacting with various cultures

  3. Social groups interacting with one another

  4. Governments making laws

The correct answer is: Social groups interacting with one another

Social interaction refers to the way individuals interact and communicate with each other within or between social groups. Option A is incorrect because studying people's behavior could mean any type of observation or analysis, whereas social interaction specifically refers to interpersonal connections. Option B mentions various cultures which may influence social behavior but does not directly imply interaction. Option D refers to the actions of government, which are not related to individual or group social interactions.
