A latent tie is best exemplified by which of the following?

A) An old friend you've reconnected with.
B) A best friend.
C) Your mother.
D) A co-worker.
E) Your boss.

A latent tie refers to a connection that exists but is not currently active or strong. Reconnecting with an old friend fits this definition as the tie was present in the past but not currently strong or active. The other options such as a best friend or family member do not fit the definition of a latent tie as they are currently active and strong connections. Co-workers and bosses are also not good examples of latent ties as they are typically professional connections and do not carry the same degree of interpersonal relationship as a personal friendship.
