Answer:
(D). Child
Step-by-step explanation:
Lakisha's supervisor tells her that the partners in the firm felt that the promotion would have created a lot of pressure on her and they wanted to protect her from that. This shows that the partners' are trying to protect her from unforeseen problems and stress.
The partners' evaluation of LaKisha reflects the child stereotype of women. They assume women are to be pampered, taken care of, and prevent them from being stressed up.
The child stereotype attitude to the women implies that the partners are considered about the overall safety and wellbeing of the woman, they care for them as if they are children that always needs support.
