The correct answer is Resistant

Mary Ainsworth (1913-1999) collaborated with John Bowlby and devoted herself to the study of the maternal-filial relationship.

In 1969 he developed a technique known as a "strange situation" to study how babies balance their need for attachment and autonomy at different levels of stress.
