The correct answer is B, as the Strange Situation involves a series of introductions, separations, and reunions between the infant, the mother, and a stranger. The purpose is to observe the infant's reaction to the mother and stranger, and the quality of attachment between the infant and mother. The other options do not accurately describe the Strange Situation.
