According to Thomas and Chess' classification of infant temperament, irritable and irregular behavior is characteristic of difficult infants. Easy infants are generally calm and regular in their sleeping and eating habits, while slow-to-warm-up infants are initially hesitant but can eventually adapt to new situations. Anxious infants show heightened sensitivity to stimuli and may have an increased likelihood of developing anxiety disorders later in life. Therefore, B is the best choice as it describes Megan's temperament.
