You're welcome, Diana.

That is correct! Mikey engaged in modeling an experience. This refers to the process of learning by observing others and imitating their behavior. In this case, Mikey observed his father's behavior of sharing food, and he imitated this behavior by sharing his sandwich with a friend at school. Choosing option A is the correct answer.
