Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "number of members" refers to the count of group members, not closeness/intimacy.

• "strength of social tie" is defined as the closeness and intimacy of group linkages, matching the question.
• "attraction" is about drawing members, not linkage intimacy.
