Explanation:

Let’s break this down:

- Family is a primary group. It’s where you first learn social interaction, trust, and develop close, personal relationships. Intimate, direct contact every day—classic primary group stuff.

- Family is also an institution. As a building block of society, it organizes behavior, values, and norms for raising kids, transmitting culture, and economic support. So that’s true too.

- Family can be seen as an association—sometimes families act together for a purpose, but this is stretching it, because associations are often more formal and voluntary than family.

- But here’s the thing: Family is *not* a secondary group. Secondary groups are large, impersonal, and goal-oriented—like a workplace or political party. That’s the opposite of family.

Now, looking at the options:

- Option 1: 1, 2, 3. Wrong, because family isn’t a secondary group.

- Option 2: 2, 3, 4. That’s primary group, institution, association. Feels close, but not perfect—association is debatable, and “secondary group” doesn’t fit.

- Option 3: 1, 2, 4. Again, “secondary group” included—nope.

- Option 4: All of the above. That would include secondary group, which isn’t accurate.

Here’s your answer:

The correct answer is Option 2: 2 (primary group), 3 (institution), 4 (association).

So you were right to choose that, see? Respect for checking all the angles.
