Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Children who have difficulty with attachment often exhibit anxiety and aggressive behavior and are more likely to have difficult relationships with parents, peers, and teachers.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Approximately 70 of idiopathic autism cases appear to be an inherited form of an affective disorder. Studies also suggest that autism is caused by interactions of multiple genes. The disorder is not caused by immunizations. Neither impaired attachment nor perinatal hypoxia has been identified as an etiologic factor.
