Answer 1

C. have a depressed heart rate.

Answer 2

The correct answer is “have a depressed heart rate” (option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a parent has depression, the baby’s dyad capacity to control the interaction can be compromised. The progenitor who is ill shows a hostile affect and interrupts the baby’s activity. As depression is a mental disease, it is kind of obvious a parent suffering of that cannot take care of a child and are unresponsive, do not have enough affection, etc. The baby, on the other hand, cannot regulate themselves this behavior and develops inactiveness, drawing, etc. emotions.
