c close friends who hang out after school together
d close friends who readily accept others into their group
please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

A clique is defined as a small, exclusive group. Option A aligns with this definition as it mentions a group of close friends who don't easily let others in. Option B's claim about superiority isn't a universal trait of cliques. Option C (hanging out after school) is too narrow - cliques can interact in various settings. Option D (readily accepting others) contradicts the exclusive nature of cliques.

Answer:

A. close friends that do not let others into their circle easily
