Answer
Correct Answer: making enemies
Explanation
ConceptParallel structure demands that forms on both sides of a comparison match. Since the first element is a gerund ("Making friends"), the second should also be a gerund: "… than making enemies."
Option analysismaking enemies — exact parallel form; correct. ✅Other options change the meaning or the grammatical form (infinitives/adjectival phrases) and break parallelism.
Final Answer"Making friends is more rewarding than making enemies."
