Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Attachment can be defined as an emotional bond in which comfort, care, and pleasure is exchanged.

In 1970, Mary Ainsworth developed a theory of "Strange Situation" in which relationships between a child and caregiver is analyzed that how much they are attached.

There are four attachment styles:

  1. Secure
  2. Avoidant
  3. Anxious
  4. Disorganized

A securely attached child is the one who feels secure in the presence of his/her parents or caregiver only. A securely attached child would use his/her caregiver as the basis of security.

So, the correct answer is option C.
