Answer:a. Hostile

Step-by-step explanation:

In a hostile marriage there is always finger pointing out to someone else and no one wants to take the blame and own up to their mistakes; it is always the other person who is wrong.

There are cases where the other person will not want to express how they feel but still they will look angry or furious and they create an uncomfortable environment. The passive agressiveness results from that, when one of the couples is mad but still he or she denies it and just shut down the opportunities to talk about what's they are feeling and possibly resolve the issue.

It creates a toxic environment for both people involved.
