Answer: Option (d) is correct option

Explanation:

Insecurely avoidant baby, as per theory of Ainsworth ,it describes as the baby that can avoid caregiver and displays low emotions and interaction with them.Children tend to explore with not much closeness with caregiver

According to the question Jordan can be considered insecure avoidant baby as he does not have close emotional attachment with his mother and can explore without her .He does not face necessity for reconnecting with her mother after break.

Other option are incorrect because Jordan is not insecure resistant baby, insecure disorganized baby and neither securely attached infant as per Ainsworth concept.Thus, the correct option is option(d).
