Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Model, the parent's work environment (exosystem) can significantly influence a child's development, so option D is the correct choice. The mesosystem refers to the relationships between different aspects of the microsystem (such as home and school), while the microsystem includes the individual's immediate surroundings (like family, school, and peers). Society at large is part of the macrosystem, which also includes cultural and societal values. Therefore, option A and B are incorrect. Option C, "family is more important than the school environment for human development" is also incorrect as both the family and school environment play crucial roles in a child's development.
