How would you feel if your friend would sacrifice you?

Me and my friend were asked this question.

A man comes up to you, pulls out his phone, video chats someone and shows you the screen. Its your best friend kidnapped with a gun to her head along with 3 other people held hostage with guns pointing to their heads. He tells you 3 things.

I'm either going to kill your best friend or these 3 random strangers.
You have 5 seconds to choose.
If I die, they all die.

What would you do?

My friend said he would just kill the man. "Id rather see my entire family burn than be wrapped around someone else's fingertips"
I replied, great to know you'd just leave me to die in this situation.

I'd kill my best friend. I think we'd both value the lives of three over one, and knowing that he'd agree with my choice would lighten the guilt somewhat. Knowing him he would probably yell furiously at me through the phone to save the lives of those strangers, heh.

I would kill my best friend. 1 life doesn't account for 3

I would probably stammer, start crying, and ask why they kidnapped my friend.

I'd kill them all.
But honestly, I'd kill the 3 strangers. Not much to think about.

I'd expect my friend to value the lives of three other people over that of myself. I don't really do much anyway, lel

The answers here would be skewed if the situation was actually simulated. Only through empirical means is there a completely honest answer.

Hm.

If my best friend and 3 strangers were held hostage and if I had to sacrifice myself they'd be free?

Well, I'd take the sacrifice, my life is nothing compared to 4 others.

Simple, hold the man hostage. His grammar was poor and he said "I'm going to kill your best friend or these 3 random strangers." He can't do anything if you have him held hostage :7
