Social interaction involves both actions and reactions to people around us, so choice C is the most accurate option. Choice D is also correct, but it includes an additional element (responding) that is not strictly necessary to define social interaction. Choice A and B are too narrow as they only account for one aspect of social interaction. Choice E is too broad and repetitive, including unnecessary repetition.
