Which of the following is an example of a primary group?

A university class
A professional organization
A bowling team
An online forum

The correct answer is: A bowling team

B professional organization may have members who work together on a regular basis, but they do not necessarily have close personal relationships. D an online forum allows individuals to interact with each other, but these relationships are often short-term and may not have the same level of commitment or emotional intensity as a primary group. A primary group is a small social group characterized by intimate, face-to-face interaction and strong bonds of loyalty. A bowling team, which typically consists of a small group of individuals who regularly meet to play together and often form strong personal connections, is an example of a primary group.
