Answer: A. Attach to both Anthony and Martina

Explanation: Naturally Zoe with attach to both Anthony and Martina as she develops as long as both of them are there during are stages of development. When we say a child has developed a strong preference for the most important adult or adults in her life them we can say he/ is attached to them. Zoe will grow to be more fond of them both and get attached to them. Attachment describes the gradual, evolving changes in a child's feelings toward her parent. The idea of attachment is of enormous help in family love and relationships and can only be effectively developed from child hood.
