David Cassady · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The Strange Situation is a research tool to assess the attachment style between caregivers and infants, and is typically used with children between the ages of 12-18 months. It is not typically used to determine school readiness, nor is it used with non-human animals. The reason it is no longer used is not due to ethical concerns, but rather because other research tools have been developed. Therefore, option B is the best answer.
