Final Answer :
The three stages are the protest stage, in which babies cry when their caregivers are out of sight; the despair stage, in which babies become quiet and sad after they've cried when the caregiver is no longer present; and the detachment stage, in which babies become emotionally detached from the caregiver and other people.Chelsea's behavior exemplifies the protest stage.
