Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Bowlby's attachment theory, infants need a primary attachment figure, a person who provides a secure base for exploration and a safe haven for comfort during times of distress. Extended family members such as grandparents, aunts, or uncles can serve as primary attachment figures for a child who has lost their parents. A cloth mother or moving object may provide some comfort, but they cannot replace the need for a human attachment figure. Nourishment is important, but it is not the only factor in forming an attachment relationship. Therefore, the best choice is D.
