Final answer:
The correct answer to the student's question about Sternberg's theory that suggests our love stories begin soon after birth should be Sternberg's love story theory, but it's not listed in the options.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question pertains to Robert Sternberg's theories on love. Specifically, the theory related to how love stories begin soon after birth is Sternberg's love story theory, which suggests that the scripts for our relationships are formed early in life, influenced by the relationships and environments we observe and experience as children. However, this question seems to have a typo because none of the options provided (wheel of love theory, triangular theory of love, or limerence) directly discusses the starting point of our love stories as being soon after birth. If we examine Sternberg's theories, B. love story theory is a likely correct answer due to the context of the question, even though it is not explicitly named in Sternberg's widely recognized frameworks.
As for the other part of the question, according to Sternberg's triangular theory of love, the type of love defined by passion and intimacy but no commitment is known as romantic love. This theory explains different types of love through three components: intimacy, passion, and commitment, with various combinations resulting in different forms of love.
