The correct answer is D because children born in the rural south is not listed as an individual risk factor for child maltreatment by the authors. Factors such as premature birth, low birth weight, and disabilities are individual risk factors because they can increase the stress on caregivers or make the child more vulnerable, but being born in a specific geographic location like the rural south is not considered an individual characteristic that increases risk for maltreatment.
