Answer:

B, nonsexual adoration of the beloved

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 'platonic love' refers to a 'friends only' relationship. This is a kind of relationship where you really love the other person but you have little or non sexual interest in them. This kind of love is not romantic, it motivates us to become better persons and inspires us to achieve great goals in life.

This type of relationship is often found in pen pals, persons that write to each other with great affection but not forming a proper relationship.

The term stems from the Greek philosopher Plato who described this kind of love as attractions of souls.
