Explanation
Answer: C - Emotional support and the sharing of happiness are expressive needs and are usually fulfilled by a primary group. Due to the close-knit nature of a primary group, the members know one another well and therefore can provide expressive support. Instrumental needs are more about utility, for example, a person performs a job at a company in order to receive income.
