of the following best describes Bronfenbrenner's perspective on child development?

  1. Development is the sum of individual traits and personality

  2. Development must be viewed in the context of the entire environment

  3. Development is primarily shaped by the family unit

  4. Development is guided primarily by culture

The correct answer is: Development must be viewed in the context of the entire environment

Bronfenbrenner's perspective emphasizes the importance of considering the impact of the entire environment on a child's development, rather than just focusing on individual traits or the family unit. This framework, known as the ecological systems theory, recognizes that a child's development is influenced by interactions with different systems, including the family, community, and culture. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not take into account the role of the environment in child development.
