Lucas Cardoso · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Both Erikson and Bowlby agree that familiarity with a primary caregiver is critical during the first year of life. They both emphasize the importance of developing a secure attachment with a primary caregiver, which can have long-lasting effects on an individual's social, emotional, and cognitive development. They do not suggest that human attachment occurs within the first few days after birth or that a toddler's insistence on using a security blanket is a sign of a disturbed attachment. They also do not limit attachment to maternal instincts, recognizing that fathers and other caregivers can also be primary attachment figures.
