Direction: Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:

Attachment is an imperative part of a child’s survival and is the foundation for all future relationships. There are many factors that affect the attachment style of each infant, however, the developmental research focuses on the "“clear-cut”" attachment time period and how the absence of a caregiver affects an infant’s desire to explore their environment in an unfamiliar situation with a stranger. Children with a secure attachment style were comfortable in their novel environment and displayed several explorative behaviours while their mothers were present. However, with the departure of their safety base, infants display far less exploratory behaviours and are likely to increase in attachment prior to reuniting, especially in the event of multiple departures. A healthy, secure attachment style is the best foundation for a child’'s development and is mostly characterized by the quality of care and parenting styles. Children with early, stable, loving caregivers are likely to develop secure attachment styles, characterized with a trust in self and environment.

What is the key factor that causes children to be exploratory or not?

A) The novel environment and strange conditions

B) The research environment and safe conditions

C) The family environment and caregiver conditions

D) The attachment and children survival condition
