Five year old Rebecca was confused about why her baby brother was born with a penis and why Rebecca herself did not have a penis. When Rebecca would ask her mother questions about this, her mother would snap and say
 
  Rebecca, please have some manners and keep your silly questions to yourself. As a preadolescent, Rebecca starts to notice changes in her body but instead of asking her mother about those changes, Rebecca instead looks for information on the Internet. Upon finding this out, Rebecca's mother is hurt that her daughter did not come to her for information. Rebecca's reluctance to speak with her mother could have been avoided if her mother had ____.
 
  a. told Rebecca as a child that she would answer her questions when Rebecca was older
  b. paid more attention to Rebecca's body changes so that she could have anticipated Rebecca's need for more information
  c. bought Rebecca a children's book to explain the differences between girls and boys
  d. made Rebecca feel comfortable about talking about sex from an early age by answering Rebecca's questions in an age appropriate manner
