Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

The closest stage to the initiation stage from Knapp's Relationship Escalation Model is **C. contact.**

In Knapp's model, the stages progress as follows:

1. Contact

2. Involvement

3. Intimacy

4. Deterioration

The initiation stage corresponds to the very beginning of a relationship when two people first make contact or become aware of each other's existence.
