A. Secondary groups are less intimate than primary groups

Explanation:

A primary group is characteristically small with members who share tight-knit and lasting relationships such those experienced in marriage, close friendships, and families. Those who belong to this principal group often express concern for each other, have regular activities together, and other similar interactions which contribute to the members’ individuality and psychological wellbeing.

A secondary group is characteristically larger with impersonal and objective-driven relationships. The interactions are often short-term as they are less personal and eventually drift away after the goals have been met.
