Answer 4

Your answer of D is correct. The fourth-grade boy's refusal to participate in the dance unit because his dad says dancing is for girls is demonstrating how the influence of significant people in the child's life affects his range of interest. This situation shows that the boy's father's beliefs and opinions about gender roles in dancing have influenced his own perceptions and preferences. The boy is likely mirroring his father's attitude towards dancing, which has influenced his decision to not participate.
