Answer:
A. Children who are different from others are more likely to be bullied.
Explanation:
A child who is different from others, stands out among his peers and is likely to be bullied. For example, children who are different from their peer physically such as dwarfs, obese, deformed are more likely to be bullied. Children who are also different in their mental capacity compared to their peers are also likely to be bullied, e.g. mentally impaired children.
On the contrary, children who blend in easily with their peers are not easily spotted out or bullied.
