  4. avoid intimate relationships with others
Explanation
Answer: D - According to the attachment theory of love, infants who have anxious attachments with their parents are more likely to avoid intimate relationships with others.
Key Takeaway: The attachment theory of love says that the type of attachment that an infant develops with its parents dictates the type of attachment it will have with other people as an adult. If an infant has an avoidant type of attachment, he or she will likely grow up to avoid intimate relationships with others such as future mates. This means that the adult is more likely to break up close friendships or even marriage if the other person needs to be close to them emotionally or physically.
