Exogamy refers to the practice of seeking a mate outside of one's social group or community. If Jerome is opposed to having a relationship with someone in his dormitory, he is practicing exogamy by seeking a mate outside of his immediate living community. The other answer choices (B and C) are not valid concepts or terms. The principle of least interest (D) refers to the idea that the person who is less invested or interested in a relationship holds more power and control.
