Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transitivity refers to the property of a social network where if ego A knows both B and C, then B and C are also likely to know each other. In other words, there is a relationship between A, B, and C that is transitive. Choice B is incorrect as it refers to personal discomfort, which is not a part of the definition of transitivity. Choice C is incorrect as it refers to similar characteristics, which is not a defining feature of transitivity.
