What role does attachment play in an infant's development?

It provides a safe base for exploration
It assists in regulating emotions
It encourages self-awareness
It facilitates language acquisition

The correct answer is: It provides a safe base for exploration

Attachment is a crucial aspect of an infant's development as it provides a secure base for them to explore their surroundings. It allows the infant to feel safe and supported, which can lead to greater confidence and independence. Option B is incorrect because while attachment can assist in emotional regulation as the infant learns to turn to their caregiver for comfort and support, it is not the main role of attachment. Option C is incorrect because attachment does not necessarily encourage self-awareness, which is a more complex developmental skill. Option D is incorrect because while attachment can foster communication and social skills, it is not the main factor in language acquisition.
