The answer is: experimenting.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Initiating: This is the first stage of Mark Knapp's relationship development model. During this stage, individuals make their first impressions and engage in initial interactions. Questions at this stage are typically more superficial, such as "Hi, how are you?" or "Nice to meet you."

  2. Integrating: This stage occurs later in the relationship development process. At this point, partners start to merge their lives and social circles. They may develop a shared identity and use terms like "we" instead of "I." Questions in this stage are more about planning and coordinating lives together, rather than basic information gathering.

  3. Experimenting: This is the correct stage for the given question. During the experimenting stage, individuals seek to learn more about each other to determine if they have enough in common to continue the relationship. Questions like "What movies do you like?" and "How many brothers and sisters do you have?" are typical as they help to uncover shared interests and background information.

  4. Bonding: This is the final stage in Knapp's model, where the relationship becomes more formal and committed, often marked by public declarations such as marriage. Questions in this stage are more about future planning and deepening the commitment, rather than basic information gathering.

Thus, the correct answer is experimenting, as this stage involves asking questions to gain more information about a potential partner.
