  1. Constancy
  2. Desire to maintain closeness
  3. Individual replacement
  4. Separation
Explanation
Answer: B - Attachment means that there is a bond or connection with the person. With the parent-child relationship, it involves a long-term tie to the individual that cannot be replaced by another. When attachment is not established, emotional distress and personality disturbance can occur.

Sarah was assessed as having a bond. It "appears that Sarah does not hold an attachment to the child". I thought about desire to maintain closeness, but your question states she was assessed with having a bond and a desire to care and nurture; therefore, I deduced she may have not maintained a constant bond!!!
