Sam's willingness to stay in a relationship where he is verbally abused and gives in to every demand suggests he may see the relationship as profitable enough for him, possibly due to his low expectations or comparison level for relationships, influenced by his past experiences of making few friends and moving often. This does not necessarily mean he has a high personal comparison level (A is incorrect), nor does it suggest he is more likely to break up with Ana compared to someone who had many friends (B is incorrect), making C the most likely true statement.
