Question

Play group of children is a

• A. Primary group
• B. Secondary group
• C. Both (A) and (B)
• D. None of these

Hint:

Informal peers $\Rightarrow$ primary; institutional class $\Rightarrow$ secondary; ambiguous stem $\Rightarrow$ both.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Distinguish primary vs secondary. Primary groups are small, intimate, face-to-face (family, close peers). Secondary groups are larger, formal, goal-oriented (class, club), with impersonal, role-based ties.
Step 2: Apply to “play group.” A children’s informal peer circle (playmates) functions as a primary group. However, school/creche “{Play-Group}” organised under formal rules, supervision, timetables and goals acquires secondary characteristics.
Step 3: Conclude. Because the stem does not specify informal vs institutional setting, the safest choice is Both (A) and (B). \[ \boxed{\text{Option C}} \]
