Interdependence theory proposes that relationship stability is determined by the comparison level (CL) which is an individual's expectation of what they think they deserve in a relationship. On the other hand, relationship satisfaction is determined by the comparison level for alternatives (CL alt) which is an individual's expectation of what they could have in an alternative relationship. Therefore, the best choice is B, where Outcome (the comparison of rewards and costs in the current relationship) is related to CL alt for determining satisfaction and CL (expectations of what one deserves in a relationship) for determining stability.
