Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is a.

Explanation:

The example illustrates the way aggressive or hostile behaviours can be resented by children in a family environment.

Different studies have shown that parental arguments or fights have long-term effects in children, who later in life may develop low self-esteem and even depression. As the example shows, too, conflictive parents are also likely to displace their emotions to children (which turns it into a direct effect).
