Question

TAMARA AL AARAB · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Hospitalization and surgery for Brenda will require other family members to step in and take on additional responsibilities, such as caring for younger siblings or managing household tasks. This will result in an alteration of family members' roles and tasks. While there may be some loss of privacy and potential financial strain due to medical bills, these are secondary effects and less likely to be the primary impact on the family. Additionally, there is no indication that Brenda's hospitalization will result in a loss of autonomy for her children.
