come up with a campus beautification plan.

b. the seniors made a slide show for the freshman students about
campus life.

c. the juniors held a spirit day rally.

d. the seniors decided on a prom theme.

Explanation:

The contact hypothesis states that intergroup contact under favorable conditions reduces prejudice. Option A involves two different groups (freshmen and sophomores) working together, which is intergroup contact. Options B (one - way communication from seniors to freshmen), C (juniors as a single group), and D (seniors as a single group) do not involve intergroup contact as defined by the hypothesis.

Answer:

A. The freshman and sophomore class officers worked together to come up with a campus beautification plan.
