Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Jealousy helps maintain a relationship by guarding its exclusiveness. When individuals in a relationship feel jealous, it may signify that they value and desire exclusivity in the relationship. This can motivate them to communicate and work towards maintaining the relationship's exclusivity by addressing any issues that may threaten it. In extreme forms, jealousy can be harmful and destructive to a relationship, but in moderate amounts, it can serve as a signal that both partners are invested and committed to the relationship.
