A peer group refers to a group of individuals who are of the same age and share common interests and experiences. In this scenario, the kids that Charles plays with in his neighborhood fit this description and would be considered his peer group. The other options, such as family (B) or interest group (D), do not accurately describe the social relationship between Charles and the other children he plays with. The term outgroup (C) refers to a group that an individual does not identify with or belong to, which is not applicable in this scenario as Charles does consider the neighborhood children his social group.
