Question

Charlie Baumeister · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Studies have shown that when infant monkeys were raised with artificial mothers that provided either nourishment alone or only body contact, the monkeys consistently chose the artificial mother that provided body contact. This suggests that emotional bonding results primarily from physical contact and touch. Choice A is incorrect because nourishment alone does not lead to emotional bonding. Choice C and D are also incorrect because they do not directly relate to the formation of emotional bonds between mother and infant.
