Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Emotional regulation refers to the ability to manage and control one's emotions, which would allow the 5-year-old girl to stop herself from hitting another child when angry. Social referencing involves using others' emotional reactions to guide one's own behavior, self-esteem involves one's own sense of self-worth, and identification refers to the process of taking on qualities and characteristics of someone else as part of one's own identity, none of which directly relate to the ability to stop oneself from hitting in the given scenario.
