B

C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Difficult temperament describes children who are characterized by negative mood, withdrawal, low adaptability, high intensity, and low regularity (Thomas, Chess, Birch, Hertzig & Korn, 1963).

Detailed explanation-2: -Children are born with their own temperaments, and you’ve probably been able to describe your child’s temperament since your child was a baby. For example, ‘Jade is very easygoing’ or ‘Luca likes routines’. Differences in temperament explain why your children might be quite different from one another.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are three general types of temperaments: easy-going, slow-to-warm, and active. Easy-going children are generally happy and active from birth and adjust easily to new situations and environments. Slow-to-warm children are generally observant and calm and may need extra time to adjust to new situations.
