Herbie and irene have been married for almost 55 years. through it all they have remained committed to each other and have been as close as two people can be. over the years, the passion has waned but they still stayed together. sternberg would call this type of love
a) consummateb) romanticc) intimated) companionate

The answer is: d) companionate

Explanation:

It's says that passion has declined, so this is the reason why it can't be consummate or intimated, as consummate in marriages means the act of having sex, which is basically the opposite, and well, intimated, could mean privately or sexually close, but it's not specifying here, so it's neither one. While there's nothing romantic mentioned here, whatsoever so this is why it isn't romantic. Companionate, is an adjective to describe equal companions, which after 55 years, I guess this is what is more noticeable in a marriage, companionate.
