• A. Sociogram
• B. Venn Diagram
• C. Network Map
• D. Flow Diagram

Answer: (A)

A sociogram is a diagram that maps how people in a group relate to one another. It typically represents individuals as nodes and the relationships, interactions, or communications between them as lines or arrows. This visual layout makes patterns clear—who is central or influential, who collaborates with whom, and who might be isolated or outside subgroups. In art therapy or group work, a sociogram helps you quickly assess group dynamics and plan interventions to improve cohesion, address conflicts, or ensure everyone has a voice. By contrast, a Venn diagram shows overlapping sets, not interpersonal connections; a network map can be broader and may include nonhuman actors or more complex systems; a flow diagram traces steps in a process rather than relationships between people. Therefore, for depicting relationships within a group, the sociogram is the most precise choice.
