Answer:Insecure Ambivalent/insecure resistant

Step-by-step explanation:

Insecure Ambivalent

This is the third stage of attachment defined by Ainsworth. The child in this stage get clingy and very dependent but at the same time they reject this person that they are attached to when they try to interact with them.

Children never wants to explore their surroundings but prefer to stay clingy.

When they are upset it becomes hard to make them feel better due to a lack of constant response to what they need .
