As none of Sam's close friends could help him, it can be assumed that James is not a part of his closed network. Also, as Sam met James only a few months ago during travelling, he cannot be considered as Sam's strong tie. Therefore, James belongs to Sam's weak ties, and hence option C is the correct answer.
