Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jenny's condition suggests that she experienced limited opportunities for social, emotional, and intellectual growth, which is typical of a restricted environment. Lack of stimulation from the external environment can cause developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and emotional maladjustment. The other options are less likely to cause the specific symptoms described in Jenny's case.
