Question

Zybrea Knight · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The study of the New Zealanders' development over time suggests that the temperament of emotionally reactive and impulsive 3-year-olds tends to remain stable and predict adult behavior. This indicates that temperament has a long-term stability. The other options listed - adaptive capacity, epigenetic marks, and object permanence - do not explain the pattern of continuity observed in this study.
