Are you traveling with an organized group?

YMMV

The DS-160 when asking if traveling with others, it is referring to others with a visa .. not travel companions in general.      A family with tourist visas .. that is "traveling companions"

 

The K-1 is a most confusing visa ... it waddles and quacks like an immigrant visa through most its process ... yet at its core it is a non-immigrant visa.   Forms like the DS-160 will have questions that don't quite relate, as the K-1 intent is not to "visit the USA" but to immigrate. 

 

In the guide in the link below there is a DS-160 tab and within there is a link to a step-by-step guide for the DS-160.
