They have built lots of suggestive innuendo in their interactions, saying things like “I guarantee I can mate you” or “what's your favorite position,” which have meanings both for chess and for sex. According to symbolic convergence theory, when club members come up with a new way of continuing this idea, they are using ______.

A. a rhetorical vision
B. dramatizing
C. fantasy chaining
D. symbolic convergence
