Nestor's cross-country ski club members represent his in-group because he is a member of that group. On the other hand, the downhill ski club members form the out-group because Nestor is not a part of that group. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A and C are incorrect because the terms nonconformists and conformists are not suitable to describe these groups. Option D is incorrect because Nestor's cross-country ski club is the in-group and not the out-group in this scenario.
