Some Studies Have Reported Positive Correlations Between Difficult Temperament During

Some studies have reported positive correlations between difficult temperament during infancy and reports of behaviour and adjustment problems in later childhood, adolescence, or even adulthood. One possible reason for this positive correlation is that

A) frequent crying and irritability increase the chances that a parent will comfort the child more, causing the child to rebel.
B) frequent crying and irritability increase the chances that a parent will respond to the child in a negative manner, leading to a poorer parent-child relationship which affects the child negatively.
C) the samples in such studies are biased because only a small number of infants are difficult.
D) None of the alternatives are correct.
