A Correct answer
Explanation

User-A association in UML represents a 'uses' relationship where one class uses the services of another. This is loosely coupled because the classes have independent lifecycles and no ownership - the using class can exist without the used class. Option B (tightly coupled) describes composition or aggregation where lifecycles are dependent.
