What type of attachment do infants display when they are securely attached?

Preoccupied
Avoider
Secure
Ambivalent

The correct answer is: Secure

Infants who are securely attached display a healthy and secure attachment with caregivers. This means that they are confident and trust in their caregiver to meet their needs consistently, which leads to a sense of security and predictability in their relationship. The other options, preoccupied, avoider, and ambivalent, reflect insecure attachment styles, where the infant may have difficulties trusting their caregiver or may feel anxious or distressed about their relationship. These attachment styles can stem from inconsistent or negative experiences with caregivers, and can have an impact on the infant's emotions and behavior in their relationships throughout their life.
