What do you think it is?

Social meaning that you have human interaction with people or relating to an organization
C. Joining a Club.

Answer 3

Let's go over the meaning of social first.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word 'social' is defined to be "of or relating to people or society in general.
From this, we know that a social goal needs to involve people or society.

Now let's go over the options.

A. Sticking to a nutrition plan
Sticking to a nutrition plan does not involve interacting with other people, or society. So this is ruled out.

B. Journaling about goals
Journaling means to write in a journal or diary, both of which are personal items, and thus have no relation to society. So this also ruled out.

C. Joining a club
A club usually consists of many members, and clubs usually offer club activities. This options fulfills both the 'people' and 'society' part of 'social'. So this is the answer.

D. Studying Sports
One might argue that sports is supposed to improve a person's teamwork and communication. This is true, but in this case, we are studying about sports, not playing sports. So this option is ruled out.

The answer is C.
