Bowlby's theory emphasized the importance of attachment in infancy and the separation protest is a key behavior indicating a secure attachment. This behavior includes crying, screaming, and resisting being comforted in the absence of the caregiver, and is intended to bring the caregiver back to provide comfort and protection. Option A (goodness of fit) refers to the match between a child's temperament and the environment, option C (accommodation) refers to changes made in response to new information or experiences, and option D (positive affectivity) refers to a broad trait related to mood and emotionality.
