Answer to Question 1

B
A child's individual characteristics and early life experiences, as well as protective factors in the social and physical environment, contribute to resilience, the ability to withstand stress. What makes some children more resilient than others? Specific protective or resiliency factors of children have been identified. A sense of autonomy is one resiliency factor. Another factor is adaptive distancing, which occurs when a child is able to distance himself or herself from excessively close involvement with a dysfunctional family, transcend a difficult past, avoid identifying with troubled family members, and select healthy alternatives as they become available.
