Mary Ainsworth identified three main forms of attachment: secure attachment, avoidant attachment, and resistant attachment. In the resistant attachment, the child becomes angry when the mother leaves and avoids her when she returns, indicating that the child is unsure about the mother's availability and responsiveness. Therefore, choice C- resistant attachment is the correct option. Avoidant attachment (choice A) occurs when the child avoids the mother altogether, and dependent attachment (choice D) is not a recognized form of attachment by Ainsworth. Choice B- secure attachment refers to the form of attachment where the child feels comfortable exploring the environment with the mother's presence and becomes upset when the mother leaves, but seeks comfort and is easily consoled upon the mother's return.
