My goodness! You've posted several questions -- but neglected to post your answers for us to check.

Certainly, since you're paying for this class, you must be learning something!

It's my first time using this! I put B! And I have been learning things, but I just was having a hard time with this chapter!

I disagree. Be sure to look up the meanings of each of those terms.

The correct answer is A. aggressive behaviors.

To arrive at this answer, we can look at the given options and analyze them one by one:

A. aggressive: Aggressive behaviors involve showing hostility or physically acting out, such as fighting and threatening others. These behaviors are directly related to aggression.

B. delinquent: Delinquent behaviors typically refer to illegal activities or actions that violate societal norms. While some delinquent behaviors can be aggressive in nature, not all delinquent behaviors necessarily involve aggression.

C. externalizing: Externalizing behaviors are actions that are directed outwardly and are visible to others. These behaviors can include both aggressive and non-aggressive actions, but they are not specific to aggression alone.

D. externalizing and aggressive: Option D combines the previous two options. While it is accurate to say that aggressive behaviors are a type of externalizing behavior, not all externalizing behaviors are aggressive.

Given these explanations, we can conclude that option A. aggressive best describes behaviors such as fighting, destructiveness, and threatening others.
