Charmaine is having a conversation with her best friend Takima, when she says, "I can't even tell you how much I hope that I never date a man like my father. I can't even believe that guys who act like him can even convince a woman to go out with him!"

Question

Takima, who has recently studied this chapter on Human Development, knows that Charmaine:
a. is likely to meet a man who is nothing like her father, since she will consciously avoid people who remind her of her father.
b. is very likely to continue seeing her relationship with her father deteriorate, as she will consciously seek out men of whom her father will not approve.
c. is in for a rude awakening, because research suggests that our adult relationships tend to closely resemble our childhood relationships with our parents.
d. is most likely to meet a man who is very similar to her own mother, since the longest relationships are those that involve people with opposite personalities.
