No, 'B' is not the correct answer. The correct answer is 'C' - nature; nurture.
In the given scenario, Alexander attributes Kimberly's behavior issues to poor parenting, suggesting that her upbringing or environment (nurture) is primarily responsible for her behavior. On the other hand, the school counselor is considering the role of nature, which refers to innate factors such as genetics or biological predispositions, as possibly playing a role in Kimberly's inability to focus, attend to directions, and recall information.
Therefore, the differing perspectives of Alexander and the school counselor can be best characterized as a nature vs. nurture debate, making option 'C' - nature; nurture - the correct answer.
