B1/B2 or Just B2? [DS-160]

My wife's family has their tourist visa interviews coming up, I had helped prepare their application but am questioning a choice I made on the (submitted) DS-160s ... while they are coming just to visit us, I selected "B1/B2" as when my wife applied herself to visit me under a B2, they issued her a B1/B2. Since then, I've always assumed this was the proper designation, but now I am not entirely sure. My wife's family is obviously not coming for business, but will this be a problem? Should I tell them to expect a question about it, or is this pretty normal given what's ultimately issued?

 

There was only one analogous post on VJ, some users implied it was best to redo the DS-160 whereas others said it was completely fine. TIA.

 

EDIT: I just reviewed their TravelDocs page and it says the interview is for a B-1/B-2, so I guess in this particular case, what I put on the DS-160 was correct. I don't recall if TravelDocs actually made a distinction between the B-1/B-2 and B-2 when scheduling the appointment. In any event, these DS-160s seem to be proper per what was already scheduled at the Embassy.
