Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Children from low socioeconomic status (SES) families tend to have higher rates of asthma and experience higher levels of stress due to daily adversity, such as economic strain and exposure to violence, which can trigger asthma symptoms. Additionally, low SES families may have limited access to medical care and other resources needed to manage their child's asthma.
