Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
In maintenance of motivation and morale, healthy families have pride in their family and allow them to support each other during a crisis. Assessing for loyalty is one way to measure this behavior. Division of labor focuses on family members dividing the workload among family members and adjusting workloads as necessary. Physical maintenance focuses on food, shelter, clothing, and health care. Socialization of family members focuses on every family member feeling as a part of the family and interacting with people outside of the family.
