Answer:
A). Out-group
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the details provided, the given two rival gangs would be characterized as 'out-group' as they do not belong Cody's social group. Thus, they would possess different behavioral patterns, thoughts processes, beliefs, and identity. Cody has a feeling of an opponent towards these gangs as he is unable to identify them as a member of his society and therefore, he wouldn't be able to connect to them or have a feeling of association towards them. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
