When Ward sees June before class, he says, "Up late studying last night? You look like you haven't slept all semester. And this outfit; did you get dressed in the dark?"

While Ward thinks he's joking and having fun with
his good friend, June takes it personally and gets her feelings hurt. What's
the most reasonable conclusion to draw from this situation?
A. Ward is simply disguising his real admiration for and attraction to June;
he should disclose his real feelings to her.
B. June is feeling hurt for no reason; she should realize that Ward's jocular
sparring is a legitimate form of male affection for a female friend.
C. Ward's jocular sparring works better on male friends; female friends
aren't likely to interpret this form of banter as a sign of affection.
D. Ward is attempting to get June accustomed to jocular sparring, because
research says that women's friendships would benefit from its use.
