Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fernando's parents responding sensitively and helpfully indicates that he is likely in a positive and supportive environment, which could foster prosocial behavior. Option A is incorrect because if Fernando were overwhelmed by negative emotions, it would be less likely that his parents could respond in a helpful way. Option B is also unlikely because high self-esteem does not necessarily guarantee positive behavior, and the scenario does not provide any indication of his self-esteem. Option D is also unlikely because empathetic individuals are more likely to respond positively to distress, which aligns with Fernando's situation.
