Peggy, a 62-year-old white woman, has been experiencing anxiety attacks. She seeks out counseling at the suggestion of her minister, Reverend Darcy. Peggy's husband, an alcoholic from whom she was separated for the last 2 years, recently died. Although the marriage was troubled, she had hoped that they could be reconciled eventually. Peggy has been unable to work for the past year because of a back injury that she sustained at her job as a cafeteria worker. Because of her anxiety, she stopped going to physical therapy. Her adult son, Brian, lives close enough for her to babysit his two young children on a regular basis.
However, because the children, Matt and Jeff, are now older and more active, Peggy finds it very physically demanding to care for them, particularly without the support of physical therapy. Peggy's daughter, Linda, recently had a new baby boy named Luke. Linda who lives in another part of the state, has asked her mother to move in with her to help her manage the accounts for her catering business while Linda cares for her newborn. Based upon the life-span development model, for which of the following individuals is growth the most characteristic mode of adaptation?
a. Peggy.
b. Brian.
c. Linda.
d. Luke.
Correct answer is d. Luke
