Correct Answer: exchange


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The word exchange is appropriate in this context as it implies a mutual or reciprocal action of giving and receiving greetings.

People at the marketplace take time from their busy schedules not just to offer greetings but also to receive greetings from friends or neighbours, creating a sense of interaction and connection.

Therefore, the use of exchange in this sentence conveys the idea of a two-way communication of greetings between individuals in the social setting of the marketplace.
