Nikita Padhiar · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  According to the investment model, commitment to a relationship is influenced by three factors: satisfaction (how much one likes their partner), alternatives (the attractiveness of other potential partners), and investment (the resources put into the relationship). In this scenario, Dave does not feel strongly committed to his relationship with Gabriela, and the presence of attractive alternatives increases the likelihood that he will leave the relationship. Therefore, the most likely choice for Dave is to break up with Gabriela and explore his options with other women.
