The answer is A. goodwill and the desire to provide a pleasing and positive encounter.

A hospitable relationship between a guest and a host should be filled with mutual respect, kindness, open communication, and genuine concern for each other's well-being. The host should strive to create an environment that is comfortable, welcoming, safe, and accommodating for their guests. The guest should also show gratitude towards the host by being respectful of their space, following any rules or guidelines set by the host or property owner.

Disagreement or constant bargaining over minute details can lead to tension in the relationship between guest and host which may result in negative experiences for both parties involved.

No communication or very little interaction is not conducive to building a good relationship either as it shows lack of interest on part of both sides.

Lifelong friendship may develop from such encounters but cannot be expected as it depends on various factors like compatibility etc.
