A child diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder is most likely to:

A) torture small animals.
B) blame others for their own mistakes.
C) engage in stealing and lying.
D) destroy property.

Children with oppositional defiant disorder often display a pattern of angry and irritable behavior, often blaming others for their own mistakes and exhibiting defiant behavior towards authority figures. While some children with oppositional defiant disorder may engage in stealing, lying, or property destruction, these behaviors are not necessarily indicative of the disorder and may instead be associated with conduct disorder or other psychological conditions. Torturing small animals is not a typical behavior associated with oppositional defiant disorder and may signal more serious psychological issues.
