The attachment style described is the insecure attachment style known as avoidant attachment. Infants with this attachment style seem indifferent to the presence or absence of their mother, suggesting that they have learned to avoid seeking comfort from their caregiver. This attachment style is often seen in infants who have received inconsistent or unresponsive care from their caregiver. The other options are incorrect as they do not describe the attachment style mentioned in the question.
