Attractive children are often judged to be friendlier and smarter by both teachers and peers, which can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy where they become more popular due to these positive perceptions. Additionally, societal biases can influence how children respond to peers, but the statement about attractiveness leading to less aggression is not universally supported by research, making E the most comprehensive and accurate choice.
