Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A complementary relationship is one where each partner takes on different roles and responsibilities, whereas a submissive symmetric relationship is one where both partners defer to the other in decision-making. A symmetric relationship is one where both partners have equal power and neither dominates. In this case, both Shawn and Shera prefer to make all the decisions, indicating a lack of balance in power and a competitive symmetric relationship. Therefore, the best choice is B.
