Answer:b. Confrontation of the alleged abuser

Step-by-step explanation:

Child abuse is associated with unethical and unwanted touch, trying to be sexually friendly with the child or showing the private parts to the child. These responses are likely to harm the child physically or mentally.

Confrunting the alleged abuser is important even if the child remains quiet and would not like to speak up about the abuse. The abuser can take advantage of the child's innocence even if the child is placed to another place.
