Explanation:

• Option A: Brian teases Alex by imitating his interaction with Kayla, and Alex reacts strongly but in a way that fits a friendly teasing dynamic (close enough to tease).
• Option B: Alex gets upset, but the interaction is more teasing than a topic they struggle with; Brian is joking, not discussing a hard topic.
• Option C: There's no evidence Brian likes Kayla—he's just teasing Alex.
• Option D: The conversation is about teasing, not about deepening friendship or uncertainty.

Answer:

A. It shows us that they have a close relationship where they can tease each other.
