Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. affect.

  • The word "affect" is the appropriate choice here because it means to have an influence on or cause a change in something.
  • In this context, discussing money with friends may have a negative impact on the relationship, indicating that the relationship could be negatively influenced.
  • The sentence conveys that such discussions could potentially harm the relationship.
  • The other options do not convey the intended meaning in this context.

Thus, the completed sentence would be:
