Past experiences are predisposing factors that affect a person's adaptation to stress. In case of C, as a child, she did not experience handling stress effectively. This is because her mother pampered her, in such way that resulted in an ineffective coping pattern. In addition, C may find it difficult to talk. This behavior is referred to as maladaptive response, which is negative or unhealthy to an individual.
Hence, the correct answer is (d) C, as a child nourished by her mother and kept away from schooling.
